USTR Extends Sanctions for Spanish Secessionist, Colombian Guerrilla Groups

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, after consulting with the Treasury Department, is keeping in place Foreign Terrorist Organization designations for the Basque Fatherland and Liberty (here), a Spanish secessionist group, and the National Liberation Army (here), a Colombian guerrilla group. The designations include prohibitions against knowingly providing, attempting or conspiring to provide material support or resources or engaging in transactions with this entity. The designations also freeze all property and interests of the entity in the U.S. or in the control of U.S. citizens.
