Warrick and Wechsler in The Hill: Combating domestic terrorism needs more than a new statute

The United States needs to respond urgently to a terrorism threat that is as dangerous as any threat that came from overseas.

Due to the power of the US dollar, breadth of the US market, and dominance of the US financial system, even the threat of secondary sanctions prompts many non-US companies to change their behavior to avoid the risk of such sanctions. Although this approach has furthered US policies, it has resulted in transatlantic political divergence and enhanced compliance uncertainty among private sector actors.
