Joe Biden has imposed MORE sanctions on countries than any other president: The US sanctions 60% of all low income countries

I presume state.gov is publishing official things.

I counted 13 pages between 2017 and 2019, and only 10 pages between 2020 and 2024.

I don't get US term dates, so I figured giving the benefit of the doubt against the current president was a safe bet. Hence 2 years under trump and 4 years under biden.

Not all pages have the same amount of sanction, ranging from 6 to 9. However quick checks show 2017 to 2019 having more 8 or 9 sanctions per page, with 2020 to 2024 having more 7 sanctions per page.

The sensible thing would be to count them, but I CBA. 3 extra pages and potentially 2 less years makes it pretty clear cut to me. Not worth wasting more effort on this pish.

Less sanctions under Biden than Trump.
