Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Named Persons’ U.S. Assets Frozen
On December 9, 2025, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) blocked all property and interests in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction belonging to the named persons (for example, Mateo Andres Duque Botero and Monica Munoz Ucros). That means any assets of these listed individuals and related entities under U.S. jurisdiction are frozen and cannot be accessed through the U.S. financial system.
U.S. Persons Barred From Transactions
Effective December 9, 2025, U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with the listed individuals and entities (those added to OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List). Engaging in such transactions could violate U.S. law, so U.S. businesses and individuals must not send money, provide goods or services, or otherwise transact with these listed parties.
