- AUnited Kingdom
- BUnited States of America
- CRussia
- DIndia
Explanation
CAATSA, the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, is a United States federal law enacted in 2017. It authorises sanctions on countries engaging in significant transactions with Russia's defence sector, which is why India's S-400 purchase from Russia attracted attention under it. It is not a law of Russia, France or the United Kingdom. Hence it pertains to the USA.
