Treasury Slaps New Sanctions on Global Blacklist Targets
Published Date: 6/3/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Treasury’s OFAC just added new people to its blacklist, meaning their money and property in the U.S. are frozen. Americans can’t do business with these folks anymore. This move helps keep bad actors from using the U.S. financial system, and it’s effective immediately.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Designated Persons' U.S. Assets Blocked
The Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) placed one or more people on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) List and all property and interests in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction of those persons are blocked, effective immediately. That means money or property in the U.S. owned by these designated persons is frozen and cannot be accessed.
U.S. Persons Barred From Transactions
OFAC states that U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with the newly designated individuals on the SDN List, effective immediately. That means Americans and U.S. businesses may not do business with those listed persons under U.S. jurisdiction.
