Os Estados Unidos suspenderam as sancoes contra o partido governante e o exercito da Eritreia, informou o Departamento do Tesouro, depois que uma emergencia nacional declarada em setembro de 2021 expirou em 18 de setembro de 2026 sem ser renovada. As sancoes originais foram impostas pelo governo Biden por preocupacoes humanitarias e de direitos humanos ligadas ao conflito na regiao etiope de Tigray, onde forcas eritreias apoiaram tropas etiopes contra combatentes leais ao governo regional de Tigray. Esse conflito terminou com um acordo de paz assinado em novembro de 2022.
O Gabinete de Controle de Bens Estrangeiros do Tesouro afirmou ter retirado as sancoes de varias pessoas, incluindo Hagos Ghebrehiwet, um alto funcionario financeiro eritreu designado no programa. O Departamento de Estado indicou que o governo Trump decidiu nao renovar a medida de emergencia para promover interesses americanos mais amplos na regiao do Mar Vermelho, onde as preocupacoes de seguranca se intensificaram.
A medida ocorre em meio a uma crescente inquietacao em Washington sobre a seguranca das rotas maritimas pelo estreito de Bab al-Mandeb, ja que as forcas houthis no vizinho Iemen ampliaram o controle sobre a costa oeste do pais. O litoral eritreu no Mar Vermelho, incluindo o porto de Assab, fica perto desse ponto estrategico, o que deu mais peso a decisao de aliviar as sancoes ao governo de Asmara.
