Donald Trump réinvente le business à l'américaine : fini les règles, place aux deals. En suspendant une loi emblématique contre la corruption, il transforme les pots-de-vin en stratégie patriotique. Ethique ou cynisme, pourquoi le Make America Graisse Again n'a jamais été aussi percutant ? Focus sur le business à l'américaine, et qui dit business, dit forcément Donald Trump. Cette fois, le maître des deals a décidé de donner un coup de balai à une vieille loi, le Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ou FCFP pour les intimes. Cette loi, promulguée en 1977, interdisait aux entreprises américaines de soudoyer des fonctionnaires étrangers. Une loi anti pots-de-vin mais pour Trump, et bien, ça, c'est du passé, de l'histoire ancienne, un frein au business. D'un coup de stylo, il vient de suspendre son application. Pour quelles raisons ? Pourquoi s'embarrasser de règles quand le reste du monde joue déjà ? À qui glissera l'enveloppe la plus dodue ?

Columbia University Senior Research Scholar Richard Nephew joins Jon Wolfsthal on the first 2025 episode of We're All Going To Die Radio. They discuss Richard latest article in Foreign Affairs where he argues the case against a military solution to Iran's nuclear potential is getting weaker, why diplomacy is still the best option to end Iran's nuclear potential, and whether a military strike would be successful. They conclude that there are no easy or perfect solutions, only versions of complex and discuss many of them in a lively discussion. They even get in a little NY sports talk at the same time.

Delegations from Kyiv and Moscow met in Belarus yesterday for the first round of talks which resulted in no resolution. At the same time Russian rockets battered Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city, killing and wounding dozens, and leaving much uncertainty on what's to come next. Sanctions have been the primary tool by the West to deter Russian aggression and de-escalate the tenuous situation. In this episode host Jason Bordoff speaks with international sanctions experts Richard Nephew and Eddie Fishman about the global energy implications of these diplomacy challenges. Nephew recently rejoined the Center On Global Energy Policy as a senior research scholar. He's the author of “The Art Of Sanctions,” and was most recently the US Deputy Special Envoy for Iran under the Biden administration where he played a key role in negotiations over the Iran nuclear deal. Fishman is an adjunct professor of international and public affairs at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs. From 2015 to 2017, he worked at the US State Department and advised Secretary of State John Kerry on Europe and Eurasia, leading policy work around economic sanctions. Their discussion focuses on Russia's global oil and gas exports, the near and long-term outcomes of economic sanctions on the Russian economy and the prospects for a revived Iran nuclear deal.
On COI #225, Kyle Anzalone and Connor Freeman break down the latest U.S.-Russia news, the impending “political decisions” that are to be made if the JCPOA is revived, and the U.S. backed Saudi coalition's hugely increased bombings on the civilians of Yemen. Kyle covers today's phone call between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov as well as Vladimir Putin's recent speech on the status of talks regarding Moscow's security proposals. Putin expressed frustration over Washington's refusal to take their primary concerns seriously, namely NATO's “open door” to Kiev. There is still the possibility of talks on immensely important issues like arms control, restoring the INF treaty, and missile placements. A growing rift continues to widen between Washington and the Ukrainians over the reality of the so-called imminent Russian invasion threat. Unnamed American and European officials in the media are smearing Kiev's President Volodymyr Zelensky for his recent calls for calm. Both sides, NATO as well as the Russians and their allies, continue to carry out military exercises. Connor updates the situation with Iran and the JCPOA. The Americans are saying we are reaching the negotiations' “final stretch.” All participants seem to agree that this is the case and are saying now is the time for difficult “political decisions.” Possibly the best news is that Richard Nephew, who has a dark history of gleefully waging economic warfare against the Iranian people, is no longer a member of the U.S. negotiating team. Connor also discusses the Iranian President's recent trip to Moscow and his meeting with Putin. Kyle and Connor detail President Joe Biden's current policy on Yemen. It is reportedly to allow the Saudis to take the gloves off against the Houthis and Yemen's civilians for an indefinite period. That is until they feel comfortable ending the war having saved face. The UN says nearly 400,000 people have already been killed or starved to death in the war, most victims are children. In practice, Biden's policy is quickly resulting in what the UN says are some of the highest civilian death tolls during the almost seven year genocidal war. Since the recent Houthi retaliatory missile and drone attacks on the UAE, Biden has said they are considering redesignating the Houthis as a terrorist organization and reimposing sanctions on their leadership as well. This would criminalize what little aid is making its way through the Saudi blockade at this point and worsen the humanitarian crisis by orders of magnitude. Hawks in the Senate led by Republican Ted Cruz, have introduced a bill demanding that Biden promptly reinstate the callous Trump policy. The proposed redesignation is strongly opposed by myriad aid and humanitarian groups but Cruz lies that anything less would continue Biden's “appeasement” of Iran.

Joe Lauria, editor-in-chief of Consortium News and author of "How I Lost By Hillary Clinton,” joins us to talk about the latest chapter in The Intercept versus Glenn Greenwald saga, which ended up in the pages of the Washington Post, how the Post story took the side of The Intercept in this fight and engaged in personal attacks that could have the effect of tarnishing his reputation a casting doubt on journalistic work, and how mainstream reporters deploy these attacks to silence media criticism.Arely Díaz, community organizer at the Fang Collective, tells us about a recent small but significant victory in the battle against ICE, where all contracts were rescinded in Bristol County, Massachusetts, how ICE had been indiscriminately rounding up immigrants in the area without following their own guidelines, how how activists and organizers successful pressured their community cancel these ICE contracts, how coalitions were built to take on ICE, and what will be needed to defend the rights of immigrants in the country. Nick Pope, journalist and former investigator of UFOs for the UK Ministry of Defence, joins us in a conversation about recent official release by the Pentagon of footage released of pilots encountering unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) and an upcoming report to Congress, and what, if any, additional revelations will be discovered once this report is released. We also talk about whether there will be rehabilitation for people who have been trying to bring these discussions out into the open for years and have been constantly ignored and derided.David Swanson, director at World BEYOND War, activist, journalist, radio host and author of the book "Curing Exceptionalism," talks to us about the the ceasefire agreement bringing to an end 11 days of fighting in Gaza and Israel, who could be considered a winner, who could be the loser, and whether this is even apt way to describe and understand the situation there. We also talk about Venezuela submitting the book “The Art of Sanctions” by U.S. official Richard Nephew to the International Criminal Court as evidence that the US has confessed to committing war crimes.
In this episode of My Nuclear Life, host Shelly Lesher interviews Richard Nephew. Richard was the lead sanctions expert on the US negotiating team for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) - also known as the Iran nuclear deal. He is now a Senior Research Scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University. Shelly and Richard discuss the JCPOA, sanctions, and what we might expect from President-elect Biden's administration. Visit us at: mynuclearlife.com Patreon: www.patreon.com/mynuclearlife
On May 27, the Trump administration announced that it was withdrawing sanctions waivers that had allowed Russian, Chinese and European companies to work with Iran on sensitive Iranian nuclear sites in support of the goals of the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement. Margaret Taylor talked about what it really means with two experts: Peter Harrell, an attorney and adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, and Richard Nephew, senior research scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University. They talked about what has happened since the Trump Administration decided to withdraw from the Iran nuclear agreement in 2018 and what difficulties a new presidential administration may encounter in re-joining the agreement.
Rep. Ro Khanna, US Representative for California's 17th district, returns to Press the Button for an exclusive look at his efforts to redirect Pentagon spending toward efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. High on his list of possible cuts are the massive increases for new nuclear weapons proposed by President Donald Trump, including a freeze on the new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). Early Warning features Alexandra Bell of the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation and Richard Nephew of Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs on a new report detailing the effects of the Trump administration's nuclear policy.
On this episode of The Open Mind, we're delighted to welcome Richard Nephew, senior research scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University, to discuss sanctions, tariffs, American energy, and national security. Nephew is the author of “The Art of Sanctions: A View From the Field.” He was previously Principal Deputy Coordinator for Sanctions Policy at the Department of State and the lead sanctions expert for the U.S. team negotiating with Iran from May 2011 through January 2013; Nephew served as the director for Iran on the National Security staff where he was responsible for managing an expanded array of US sanctions against Iran. He also served in the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation at the State Department and in the Office of Nonproliferation and International Security at the Department of Energy.
Back on November 4, a raft of U.S. sanctions on Iran snapped back into force, six months after the Trump Administration withdrew the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal. How Iran, U.S. allies, and U.S. competitors react to the stresses brought about by Trump’s decision will have far-reaching impacts for geopolitics, global energy markets and security, and financial markets. On the latest episode of the Columbia Energy Exchange podcast, host Jason Bordoff discusses the guideposts to watch out for in this space over the next year with Richard Nephew, a senior research scholar at CGEP and the former Principal Deputy Coordinator for Sanctions Policy at the Department of State. In his prior role Richard was instrumental in designing the sanctions regime against Iran as well as the deal that lifted them, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Jason and Richard recently sat down in New York to discuss the current state of sanctions policy against Iran, the practical aspects of enforcement given today's landscape, the role that India and China will play in determining the effectiveness of sanctions implementation, and many other issues.

Economic sanctions are a key part of international affairs, but they have been widely criticized for decades as being too inefficient, unwieldy, inconsistent with the interests of business and industry, and brutally inconsiderate of humanitarian concerns. At the center is a question of whether and how to do sanctions right. The Center on Global Energy Policy celebrated the launch of a new book by Senior Research Scholar Richard Nephew, The Art of Sanctions: A View From the Field. Mr. Nephew, the former Principal Deputy Coordinator for Sanctions Policy at the Department of State, presented key conclusions from his new book and then joined a panel discussion about current events and U.S. sanctions policy. The conversation focused on sanctions design, particularly as it relates to industry and foreign countries. Expert panelists will include: Ed Crooks, U.S. Energy Editor, Financial Times (moderator) Jackie Shire, former member of the United Nations Panel of Experts on Iran Dr. Tim Boersma, Senior Research Scholar, Center on Global Energy Policy
President Trump announced he will no longer certify the Iran nuclear agreement is in the U.S. national interest. This decision will have consequences for the United States in the Middle East as well as potentially beyond. CGEP hosted an expert panel to discuss the decision and its implications, its impact on the Iran nuclear agreement itself, how Congress, U.S. partners, and Iran will react, and, what will come next for U.S. sanctions and energy markets. Expert panelists included: Richard Nephew, former Principal Deputy Coordinator for Sanctions Policy at the Department of State and CGEP Senior Research Scholar Avril Haines former White House Deputy National Security Advisor and former Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency for the Obama Administration Helima Croft, Head of Commodity Strategy, RBC Capital Markets Jason Bordoff, CGEP Founding Director (moderator)

Daryl Kimball, Director, Arms Control Association The Podcast was recorded on the sidelines of ECFR’s Strategy Meeting on the Iran Nuclear Deal that took place in Berlin on Wednesday 11 January.
CGEP program director, Richard Nephew moderates a panel discussion on post-sanctioned jurisdiction, examining the decision to remove sanctions against Myanmar, Cuba, and Iran, and exploring ways in which sanctions removal has been successful as well as unsuccessful. Guests included: Elizabeth Rosenberg, Senior Fellow and Director of the Energy, Economics and Security Program at the Center for a New American Security and Peter Kucik, Principal at the Inle Advisory Group.
On October 5, 2016, the Center on Global Energy Policy hosted a discussion with David Mortlock, Chair of Government Relations Group at Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, and Richard Nephew, CGEP Program Director, Economic Statecraft, Sanctions and Energy Markets, on the ramifications to sanctions policy in the U.K. and E.U. as a result of Britian's withdrawal from the EU, the subject of a recent paper at the Center co-authored by the two speakers.
The Iran deal adopted in July 2015 was an effort not only to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons but also to avert a nuclear arms competition in the Middle East. But uncertainties surrounding the future of the agreement, including the question of what Iran will do when key restrictions on its nuclear program expire after 15 years, could provide incentives for some of its neighbors to keep their nuclear options open. A Brookings panel--including Robert Einhorn, Richard Nephew, Suzanne Maloney, Amb. Youssef Al Otaiba of the UAE, and Derek Chollet of the German Marshall Fund--discuss a new report on the deal's implementation.
The imposition of sanctions against Russia in response to its activities in Ukraine was a significant milestone in the U.S.-Russia relationship, the post Cold War world, and in the practice and art of sanctions. The implications of the sanctions imposed -- both in the content of the measures and in what they represent in terms of great power relations -- will reverberate for many years after the crisis is resolved, assuming that it is. The Center on Global Energy Policy hosted a presentation and discussion by Ambassador Dan Fried, Coordinator for Sanctions Policy at the U.S. Department of State and an architect of the Russia sanctions effort. He offered remarks focused on the Russia sanctions effort, its implications, and what it means for U.S. sanctions policy in the future. Richard Nephew, Program Director for Economic Statecraft, Sanctions and Energy Markets at Center on Global Energy Policy, moderated a discussion after the presentation. This event was originally held on March 9, 2016.
The Center on Global Energy Policy and the NY Energy Forum hosted a discussion on the outlook for Iran following the implementation of the nuclear accord. Our speakers, Bijan Khajehpour, leading expert on Irans energy sector, and Richard Nephew, former Principal Deputy Coordinator for Sanctions Policy at the Department of State, shared their insights on the mechanism for sanctions removal and whether to expect a rebound in Iranian oil production in the near term considering technical, political and other market factors. Following the presentation, Edward Morse, Chair of the NY Energy Forum and Global Head of Commodity Research at Citigroup, moderated a discussion with the audience.
