I'm not sure how much is by law and how much is by executive order, but I believe that when Biden gets in, he could make some changes unilaterally.

So, essentially this would be about advocating for change by the Biden administration. It wouldn't be by voting (since the election is already done), but writing to your representative could help. Maybe there are advocacy groups that could use support?

Advocating for changes is more likely to be effective with an administration that isn't fundamentally opposed to them.

What makes you think he will do any of that besides a belief?


I wasn't saying he will do it. I was saying he could.

It seems the the US law was originally the Iran and Libya Sanctions Act [1] and there have been various laws extending it. Apparently they allow the President to waive sanctions on a case-by-case bases.
