In a joint recommendation to US firms, the Departments of State, Commerce, and Labor warned of “the growing reputational, financial, and legal risks” associated with deals with South Sudan’s government or enterprises owned by officials’ families.
The US warned firms on Monday about the hazards of doing business in South Sudan, the latest expression of dissatisfaction with rival leaders in the vulnerable country Washington once championed.
“Business dealings could adversely impact US businesses, individuals, other persons and their operations in South Sudan and the region,” it said.
