The added restrictions on defense-related goods and services, issued by the State and Commerce departments, are due to be published and take effect Thursday.
At the time, the U.S. government issued an advisory cautioning American businesses about potential exposure to entities Cambodia and its military that “engage in human rights abuses, corruption and other destabilizing conduct.”those sanctions as “politically motivated” and said it would not discuss them with Washington.
The U.S. halted military assistance to Cambodia following a 1997 coup in which the country’s leader, Hun Sen, grabbed full power after ousting his co-premier, Prince Norodom Ranariddh. Hun Sen remains prime minister. In August 2005, President George W. Bush waved the ban, citing Phnom Penh’s agreement to exempt Americans in Cambodia from prosecution by the Netherlands-based International Criminal Court.
The construction of new Chinese military facilities at Cambodia’s Ream Naval Base is a point of strong contention with Washington.
Were they even buying US arms? If so, why? China can supply more, better and cheaper.
Lol, imagine if Cambodia did what Israel and our other client states such as KSA, have been doing for 60 plus years.
Like they care about this embargo 😂
Cambodia gets its weapons and ideas of how to brutalize people from China.
Uncle Sam's already have AD? How abt a clue: Vietnam War!
Embargo some one never buy from you
Chutzpah! I don't doubt the accusation, but the US puts itself on some pedestal when it just approved sales to the Saudis, and it helps it with its war on Yemen.
The U.S. imprisons more of its citizens than Russia China or North Korea and the majority of those prisoners are black which only make up 14% of the U.S. population,U.S. police kill more of their citizens than any other 1st world nation and then criticizes others on Human rights.
The US knows Arms embargo on Cambodia is meaningless. It serves to send a clear message to ASEAN. Some ASEAN countries have quietly shifted to China despite openly maintaining neutrality. Washington will no longer tolerate with inactions.
But not on Saudi Arabia which has consistently committed crimes against humanity in Yemen and Israel for its ongoing genocide in Palestine, cause you know, that makes sense.
Democratic Kampuchea 1975?
wouldn't this just further deepen Chinese military influence by being the sole seller?
Meanwhile we sell missiles to Bone-saw Arabia so they kill innocent people in Yemen. America is a joke
but still sells weapons to genocidal saudi, azeri and israeli regimes
You forgot to mention that Prime Minister Hun Sen is set to arrive in Washington DC in February to meet with Joe Biden.
How about an arms embargo on everyone?
wow
