The Trump administration on Thursday authorized a narrow group of transactions between U.S. companies and Russia’s top security agency that had been shut down by two of President Obama’s executive orders.
The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control released a note saying that transactions related to the import or use of information technology products by Russia’s Federal Security Service are now licensable transactions. Other cyber-related sanctions implemented by the Obama administration will remain in place.
