U.S. suspends sanctions against Belarus

MINSK, Belarus (AP) - The U.S. Embassy in Belarus says the U.S. administration has suspended some economic sanctions against this ex-Soviet nation.

The Embassy spokesman said the U.S. Treasury Department has suspended its ban on U.S. companies dealing with two Belarusian companies, Lakokraska and Polotsk Steklovolokno. The spokesman spoke on condition of anonymity in line with official policy.

The move follows the release last month of several opposition activists.

Other U.S. sanctions against the government of authoritarian Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko remain, including those imposed last month against a major state-controlled oil and chemical company, Belneftekhim.
