US to Impose New Sanctions on Sudan

President Bush announced new sanctions for Sudan today. These sanctions will target 31 companies and four government officials.

The United States is also working with England to draft a UN resolution calling for an arms embargo on all of Sudan.

"I promise this to the people of Darfur: the United States will not avert our eyes from a crisis that challenges the conscience of the world."

-President Bush
