Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Corporación Cimex, S. A. (Cuba) · ¶84

But the implied-repeal canon does not apply here because the Helms-Burton Act contains many express indications that the Act is a standalone statutory exception to foreign sovereign immunity. The Helms-Burton Act expressly authorizes suits against Cuban agencies and instrumentalities, expressly contemplates claims, actions, and judgments against the Cuban government entities, expressly identifies 28 U. S. C. §1331 (not §1330) as the source of jurisdiction, and expressly grants the President authority to suspend or permit suits under the Act irrespective of whether those suits satisfy an FSIA exception.
