Dear Counsel:
On January 14, 2021, the Secretary of Defense listed “Luokong Technology Corporation (LKCO),” pursuant to section 4(a)(ii) of E.O. 13959. This listing was erroneous. Accordingly, on March 9, 2021, the Secretary of Defense delisted “Luokong Technology Corporation (LKCO)” and listed “Luokung Technology Corp (LKCO),” pursuant to section 4(a)(ii) of E.O. 13959. As such, the prohibition in section 1(a)(ii) of E.O. 13959 will take effect with respect to Luokung Technology Corp (LKCO) 60 days after March 9, 2021 (i.e., May 8, 2021), and the prohibition in section 1(c) of E.O. 13959 will take effect with respect to Luokung Technology Corp (LKCO) 365 days after March...
Notes:
See comments to FAQ # 881 concerning the Luokung misspelling issue to which this letter pertains.
FAQ # 881 was removed concurrent with the posting of FAQ # 883. FAQ #883 acknowledges a preliminary injunction against the enforcement of the EO 13959 prohibitions as they apply to Luokung. This letter and the FAQ do, nevertheless, retian some interpretive value.
