New General License 20 Authorizing Certain Afghanistan Transactions
February 25, 2022
USAID welcomes the announcement by the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) that it is expanding authorizations for commercial and financial transactions in Afghanistan, including with its governing institutions. The issuance of General License (GL) 20 aims to ensure that U.S. sanctions do not prevent or inhibit the transactions and activities needed to support the basic human needs of the people of Afghanistan, and underscores the United States’ commitment to working with the private sector, international partners and allies, and international organizations to support the people of Afghanistan.

February 25, 2022
After months of relentless diplomacy in which the United States, Ukraine and our allies engaged with Russia in good faith to avoid further conflict, President Putin has shown he is not interested in peace, but only in power—in invading a neighbor in a premeditated and unprovoked attack, carving up sovereign territory by force, and denying the Ukrainian people the right to live in peace and and determine their own future. He has gone so far as to suggest Ukraine has no ability to exist as a nation separate from Russia, and baselessly and debasingly invoked claims of genocide to create a pretext for this war of choice—a war for which Russia is entirely responsible.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is providing $100,000 in immediate humanitarian assistance to support people affected by severe flooding and landslides following an intense storm in Brazil’s Petrópolis city, Rio de Janeiro State. The devastating storm generated more rain in a single afternoon than the historical average for the entire month. The fatal floods have affected thousands of people across the city, displacing at least 3,000 people, and destroying homes.
