It was established by the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act.[1][2] The office had previously existed from 2013 to 2017, after which it was eliminated by then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.[3] The office is managed by the coordinator for sanctions policy, a position with the rank of ambassador.[4]
