The United States has imposed a second round of sanctions on Sudan over allegations that the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) used prohibited chemical weapons during the country's ongoing civil war.
The sanctions, which took effect on July 20, expand export controls, impose additional financial and aviation-related restrictions, and require the US to oppose loans and financial assistance to Sudan through international financial institutions.
The measures build on sanctions introduced in 2025 after Washington determined that Sudan had violated the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).
