Trump removes sanctions on Eritrea officials
On Friday, the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump lifted the sanctions imposed on Eritrean Defense Forces and other entities in Eritrea. This move comes as part of efforts to strengthen relations between Washington and Asmara, given Eritrea's strategic location along shipping routes in the Red Sea. The Biden administration had imposed sanctions on Eritrea in 2021 due to its support for the Ethiopian conflict, including restrictions on the military and the ruling party, but those sanctions have now been lifted, reflecting a shift in U.S. policies toward the African nation.
