Awesomemy husbandks words:
"My understanding is that law passed during the Hussein administration required sanctions be placed on Russian entities which would include Kalashnikov Concern upon the State Department making a given determination. That determination was made, i believe about 2018 so this was a time-delay bombing by Hussein and the Deep State that could have been stopped only by a new law, an arguably-pro-Russia EO specific to the situation, or the State Dept having been cleaned out, which it hasn't been.
Now no money can flow to or from Kalashnikov Concern, as well as other named entities, to any American entity.
A result of this is that Kalashnikov USA can't import even a single part no matter how small, and the companies had to be completely separated or more or less so.
Reason for saying more or less is that one of the major Kalashnikov Concern investors did put over $1 million into KUSA, and there was controversy as to whether that was legal or was sanctions evasion, but apparently it was legal.
Anyway it will take a new law or EO to free trade back up.
