Treasury Sanctions Programs

Treasury Sanctions Programs are measures taken by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to restrict economic and trade activities with certain individuals, organizations, or countries that pose threats to national security, foreign policy, or economy. These sanctions can involve freezing assets, prohibiting transactions, or limiting access to financial systems. The goal is to deter harmful behavior, such as terrorism or human rights violations, by applying economic pressure. Compliance with these sanctions is mandatory for U.S. citizens and businesses, and violations can lead to significant penalties.
