The Biden administration on Monday suspended some of the terrorism sanctions that former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo imposed on Yemen s Houthi rebels in his waning days in office. The Treasury Department said it would exempt certain transactions involving the Houthis from sanctions resulting from Pompeo s designation of the group as a foreign terrorist organisation on January 10. The exemption will expire February 26, according to a statement from Treasury s Office of Foreign Assets Control announcing a general license for transactions that involve entities owned by the Iran-backed Houthis. The sanctions Pompeo imposed had taken effect January 19, just a day before President Joe Biden was inaugurated, and had been roundly criticized by the United Nations and relief organisations.
