The U.S. Treasury Department has removed 84 individuals and organisations from its sanctions lists as part of an ongoing review aimed at making sanctions programmes more effective and reducing compliance burdens for financial institutions.
According to the report, the latest action follows an earlier round of 76 removals announced after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent launched a comprehensive review of sanctions policies in May.
The Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control also updated information for 22 sanctioned individuals and entities by adding or clarifying identifying details to improve screening accuracy.
Treasury officials said the review is intended to keep sanctions targeted, effective and focused on current national security threats rather than maintaining outdated entries indefinitely.
Each removal is reviewed by other government agencies to ensure it does not undermine U.S. foreign policy or national security interests, with the option to reinstate names if necessary.
