New Executive Order Implements Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act,
Provides for Treasury Sanctions Against Malign Actors Worldwide
Washington – Today, the Trump Administration launched a new sanctions regime targeting human rights abusers and corrupt actors around the world. Building on the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act passed by Congress last year, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order (Order) today declaring a national emergency with respect to serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world and providing for the imposition of sanctions on actors engaged in these malign activities. In an Annex to the Order, the President imposed sanctions on 13 serious human rights abusers and corrupt actors. In addition, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), acting on behalf of the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, imposed sanctions on an additional 39 affiliated individuals and entities under the newly-issued Order.

I don't even need to check to see if Saudi Arabia will be on the list. Am I going out on a limb by predicting there's no chance of that?

Any such list without Saudi Arabia has no validity.
This video is worth a million words.

The young prince has declared war on corruption. He has rounded up radical Saudi clerics. He is allowing women to drive, and giving them a central role in his plans for the economy. He is challenging Iran across the Middle East.

Women are allowed to drive now... they can join the workforce.

That's gonna undermine the effectiveness of sanctions against North Korea. There's a reason why North Korea is still standing strong despite the sanctions. There is enough anti American regimes to keep it afloat and by sanctioning more of them including Russia, it will ensure that they will support North Korea even more just to troll the US.
