Today the United States announced new sanctions against eight individuals and entities that have facilitated the ongoing conflict in Sudan by providing weapons, explosives, and foreign fighters to the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces.
In addition to these targeted measures, the administration imposed a second round of sanctions on Sudan under the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act, including restrictions on loans, technical assistance from international financial institutions, export controls from the Commerce Department, and a ban on Sudanese state‑owned air carriers operating in the United States.
The Trump administration remains committed to achieving lasting peace in Sudan. It urges the parties to agree to a humanitarian truce, end the atrocities, and alleviate the severe suffering of the Sudanese people. The United States also calls for the cessation of all external support to the belligerents and encourages partners to press for a comprehensive halt to hostilities and enhanced, unhindered humanitarian access.
These actions are undertaken pursuant to Executive Order 14098 and Section 307 of the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991.
