The Zimbabwe Sanctions program only target those who engage in corruption, violate human rights, and undermine democratic processes. They are not intended to be permanent. We use sanctions to encourage sanctioned individuals to cease their malign activities.
Sanctions do not hamstring Zimbabwe’s economic prospects. Corruption, economic mismanagement, undermining democratic institutions, and violating human rights damage Zimbabwe’s international reputation. #ItsNotSanctions
In a country of over 15 million people, U.S. companies are free to do business with the overwhelming majority of Zimbabweans, from your large, multinational companies to your small, innovative start-ups launched by your entrepreneurs. #ZimBizOpps
There is no U.S. trade embargo on Zimbabwe. If an individual or entity is not on the sanctions list, U.S. companies can trade with that individual or entity. In fact, the U.S. Embassy is here to help Zim businesses find trusted U.S. partners for their needs. #ZimBizOpps
The U.S. government can lift sanctions under various circumstances, for example when sanctioned individuals or entities stop engaging in the behavior that landed them on the sanctions list in the first place.
