He has close ties to Putin. If the UK sanctions Roman Abramovich for his ties to Putin, then why doesn't the US sanction Trump? I don't see much difference between these two.

I'm not really sure how sanctions issued by the US work so I don't know if that could be a thing... I agree though, I do not see a real difference either.

legal proceedings. Fourth Amendment. On the international level, however, it is more easily accomplished.

He has to violate one of the lists we have today. They have been expanded at a rapid pace. I'm thinking it's only a matter of time.
