Leaving aside the case of factorized global dynamics \(U(t_1,t_0)=U_{A}(t_1,t_0)\otimes U_{B}(t_1,t_0),\) see: D. Salgado and J. L. Sánchez-Gómez, Comment on “Dynamics of open quantum systems initially entangled with environment: Beyond the Kraus representation” arXiv:quantph/0211164 (2002); H. Hayashi, G. Kimura, Y. Ota, Phs. Rev. A 67, 062109 (2003).

Note that the composition of two completely positive maps is also a completely positive map. However the composition of two arbitrary operators can be completely positive regardless of whether they are individually completely positive or not
