Wedlug Departamentu Skarbu Stany Zjednoczone zniosly sankcje wobec rzadzacej partii Erytrei i jej wojska, po tym jak ogloszony we wrzesniu 2021 roku stan wyjatkowy wygasl 18 wrzesnia 2026 roku i nie zostal przedluzony. Pierwotne sankcje zostaly nalozone przez administracje Bidena z powodu obaw humanitarnych i dotyczacych praw czlowieka zwiazanych z konfliktem w polnocnoetiopskim regionie Tigraj, gdzie sily erytrejskie wspieraly wojska etiopskie przeciwko bojownikom lojalnym wobec regionalnego rzadu Tigraju.

Wybrzeze Erytrei nad Morzem Czerwonym, w tym port Assab, znajduje sie blisko tego strategicznego punktu, co nadalo dodatkowa wage decyzji o zlagodzeniu sankcji wobec rzadu w Asmarze.
