US Treasury proposes to cut a Cambodian bank from the global financial system

The US Treasury's financial crime unit proposes to block a Cambodian financial institution, Huione Group, from using the US financial system. This means US banks would have to stop all transactions with Huione Group and increase scrutiny on other foreign accounts to ensure they are not used as a workaround.

The US Treasury is using its power to isolate a foreign financial institution from the global dollar system. This makes it harder for Huione Group to move money internationally. It becomes impossible for Huione Group to access US dollar clearing, which is essential for most international transactions.
