US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent affirmed the Trump administration's commitment to "achieving lasting peace in Sudan.".
This is evident in the United States providing $20 million in emergency food aid in March, and the $200 million it recently donated during the Sudan Humanitarian Fund appeal for action hosted by the United States last February.
Sudan War
He stressed that his country calls on both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces to accept an immediate humanitarian truce for three months without preconditions in order to «pave the way for negotiations aimed at a permanent ceasefire.».
He urged «all external parties to cease financial and military support to the warring parties.».
Sanctions imposed on individuals in Sudan
The Treasury Department said the latest punitive action was taken pursuant to President Trump’s executive order to «impose sanctions on certain individuals who destabilize Sudan and undermine the goal of democratic transition.».
