美国解除对厄立特里亚执政党和军方的制裁

美国财政部表示，美国已解除针对厄立特里亚执政党及其军方的制裁。此前，2021年9月宣布的国家紧急状态已于2026年9月18日到期且未获续期。最初的制裁由拜登政府实施，起因是埃塞俄比亚北部提格雷地区冲突引发的人道主义和人权担忧，当时厄立特里亚军队支持埃塞俄比亚军队对抗效忠提格雷地区政府的武装人员。该冲突已随2022年11月签署的和平协议结束。
美国财政部海外资产控制办公室表示，已解除对多名个人的制裁，其中包括厄立特里亚高级财务官员哈戈斯·格布雷希韦特。美国国务院表示，特朗普政府决定不续期该紧急状态措施，以推进美国在红海地区更广泛的利益，该地区的安全担忧近期有所加剧。
此举正值华盛顿方面对经巴布厄尔曼德海峡航运通道安全日益担忧之际，邻国也门的胡塞武装已扩大对该国西海岸的控制。厄立特里亚的红海海岸线，包括阿萨布港，靠近这一战略要冲，这为放宽对阿斯马拉政府制裁的决定增添了更多考量。
