Key Issues:
How U.S Government policy doctrines and related statutes and regulations have enabled hugely controversial events.

How “lawfare” plays out in the commercial world in terms of implications for businesses navigating these tumultuous times and their need to undertake much higher due diligence on counterparties, cargoes, routeing, local politics in states where their assets may be exposed and insurance.
