The promise was to urge the U.S. Mission to the United Nations to advocate for Security Council sanctions targeting financial channels used by Sudan conflict belligerents. During Van Hollen's current Senate term, he signed a September 2026 Senate letter to Ambassador Mike Waltz at USUN making that request. Because the promised action was advocacy, not passage of sanctions, the signed letter fulfills the commitment in the same federal term.
