On June 08, 2021, the White House published a notice on the continuation of the national emergency with respect to the actions and policies of certain members of the government of Belarus and other persons to undermine democratic processes or institutions of Belarus.
It is noted that the actions and policies of certain members of the Government of Belarus and other persons continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. For this reason, U.S. President Joe Biden, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), the U.S. President Joe Biden continued for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13405.
According to the corresponding presidential decree, the Republic of Belarus is accused of committing "human rights abuses related to political repression, including detentions and disappearance," and of engaging "in public corruption, including by diverting or misusing Belarusian public assets or by misusing public authority."
The blacklist of sanctions-hit Belarusian officials has ten names: the president, the chair of the Belarusian Security Council, the ministers of interior and justice, the head of the country’s security service KGB, the head of the Central Election Commission, the head of national TV and radio broadcaster and others.
It's worth noting that on June 3, the United States re-imposed full blocking sanctions against nine Belarusian state-owned enterprises previously granted relief under a series of General Licenses by the Treasury Department. As a result of this measure, US persons will be prohibited from engaging in transactions with these entities, their property, or their interests in property. Those companies are Belarusian Oil Trade House, Belneftekhim and its US subsidiary Belneftekhim USA, Inc., Belshina, Grodno Azot, Grodno Khimvolokno, Lakokraska, Naftan and Polotsk Steklovolokno.
