The United States officially recognized Husitov by a foreign terrorist organization

“Since 2023, the Husites have seated commercial vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden hundreds of times, as well as American military personnel who defended the freedom of shipping and our regional partners,” the document says.

In the United States, when classifying terrorism, “terrorists operating around the world” are distinguished (Specially Designated Global Terrorists, SDGT), and Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO). The volume of the restrictions and sanctions introduced in which of the lists is located in which of the lists is located.

In his previous presidential term, Donald Trump ordered Khusitov to bring Husitov to both lists. This happened the day before the end of his presidential term, less than a month later the Biden administration canceled this decision to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Yemen.

However, in January 2024, after attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea, the Biden administration again included the Husitov on the SDGT list, which suggests softer restrictions and sanctions than the FTO list.
