Allowing Additional Time for Recognizing Positive Actions by the Government of Sudan and Amending Executive Order 13761
Executive Order 2017-14992
|Signed on July 12, 2017
45th Presidency
What it means
This order extends the timeline for evaluating Sudan's actions by three months. It amends a previous order by pushing the review date from July 12, 2017 to October 12, 2017, allowing more time for comprehensive analysis of Sudan's government policies.
Expected impact
- Provides additional time for the U.S. government to conduct a more thorough assessment of Sudan's political situation and potential sanctions relief
- Delays any changes to U.S.-Sudan relations that would have occurred under the original timeline
- Allows the administration to gather more evidence before making decisions about Sudan's compliance with previous agreements
- Creates uncertainty for Sudanese officials who may have expected faster policy changes
