Comment on Judge orders Anna’s Archive to delete scraped data; no one thinks it will comply

But the US can impose a few inconviniences on you:

“You lose immediate access to all the main credit cards that go through the Swift system, which is controlled by the U.S.,” she said. “My Amazon and Google accounts were closed. You cannot pay for your utilities, your subscriptions. You’re completely crippled when it comes to booking hotels, trains, flights. You can’t buy dollars because your name is flagged.”.

If the President chooses to sanction them, yes. A judge cannot impose that kind of sanction because they have limited jurisdiction.

The court can order you to pay, and it can order US banks to seize your money. But a US court cannot order France to seize your money.

Basically, judgements are a judicial function with a more limited scope and sanctions are akin to foreign policy but can extend as far as we are able to force/negotiate.
