We are sanctioning eight individuals and entities prolonging the devastating conflict through procurement and recruitment operations. These networks supply weapons, explosives, and foreign fighters to both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. Their support has prolonged a conflict that has created the world’s worst humanitarian crisis and provided space for terrorist groups to operate. We are also imposing a second round of sanctions on Sudan pursuant to the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act (CBW Act). These sanctions include opposing loans or financial or technical assistance to Sudan from international financial institutions, further export restrictions by the Commerce Department, and a bar on Sudanese state-owned air carriers from operating in the United States. The Trump Administration remains committed to a lasting peace in Sudan. We call on the warring parties to agree to and comply with a humanitarian truce to end the atrocities and alleviate the immense suffering of the Sudanese people. The United States also calls for an end to all external support to the belligerents and urges all our partners to press for a comprehensive cessation of hostilities and increased, unhindered humanitarian access. Today’s action is being taken pursuant to the authorities under Executive Order (E.O.) 14098 and Section 307 of the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991 (P.L. 102-182). For more information on today’s action, please see the Department of the Treasury’s press releases.
