B-10 / Strategic assessment

Use economic restrictions to reduce adversary leverage

Partner-dependent, not a demonstrated U.S.-Government authority gap

Existing pathway

Presidential economic-emergency and trade powers and competent Treasury/Commerce/State processes may complement DoD sourcing, contracting and industrial measures.

What remains unresolved

A generic power for DoD independently to impose economy-wide sanctions, tariffs or export licensing is not established merely by its national-security mission. Any delegated role must be traced.

Coordination or legislative question

Distinguish “DoD does not own the required decision” from “the United States lacks authority”; the latter has not been demonstrated here.

Analytical mapping from the cited demand to statutory mechanisms; not a claim that the strategy expressly requests every possible mechanism.
