Sanctions are only effective because other countries agree to them. The fact that the US puts sanctions on a country, and every country agrees to stop dealing with the sanctioned country, shows that it’s not just the US’s opinion, but a collective decision. The US is extremely selective with their sanctions, because they only use them when they see that a country is risking the success of other countries.
