Sanctions on Rare Earth Mineral Transactions with Taliban in Afghanistan

This act imposes sanctions on individuals and entities knowingly engaging in significant transactions involving rare earth minerals with the Taliban-linked sector in Afghanistan. The goal is to cut off funding for the Taliban by blocking their assets in the U.S. and denying entry to individuals involved in such transactions. It does not apply to the importation of goods, meaning ordinary citizens will not experience direct changes in product availability.
Key points
Blocking of property and property interests of persons involved in rare earth mineral transactions with the Taliban, located in the U.S. or under U.S. person control.
Exclusion from the United States for foreign persons knowingly engaging in significant transactions with the Taliban-linked Afghan rare earth mineral sector.
Sanctions do not include the importation of goods, meaning they will not directly impact product availability for consumers.
