The general license from the Treasury will “expand authorizations for commercial and financial transactions, in Afghanistan, including with Afghanistan’s governing institutions,” which would “otherwise be prohibited by U.S. sanctions,” senior administration officials said through teleconference Friday, according to a White House statement.
“However, it does not authorize financial transactions to the Taliban, Haqqani Network, associated entities, and any blocked individual who is in a leadership role of a governing institution in Afghanistan,” the statement said.
“The license will ensure U.S. sanctions do not stand in the way of transactions and activities needed to provide aid and support the basic human needs of the people of Afghanistan. It reflects our deep commitment to support the people of Afghanistan during this ongoing humanitarian and economic crisis.”
