A relationship marked by past confrontation, transitional cooperation, and renewed strain amid Sudan’s political upheaval and war.
Sudán hacia Estados Unidos
-25Under Omar al-Bashir, Sudan’s hosting of Osama bin Laden and support for militant groups contributed to severe confrontation with the United States. Sudan’s transitional government later agreed to compensation for victims of terrorist attacks and pursued normalization with Israel as part of a US-brokered arrangement.
Estados Unidos hacia Sudán
-10The United States imposed broad sanctions on Sudan and designated it a state sponsor of terrorism, but later removed the designation after Sudan agreed to compensation and supported debt relief and the civilian-led transition. Following the 2021 coup, the United States paused assistance; it has also imposed sanctions related to the conflict and pursued diplomacy and humanitarian assistance.
Relación general

The transition produced concrete cooperation on compensation, normalization, and debt relief. The coup and subsequent war renewed tensions, leaving the relationship mixed and vulnerable to political change.
