The Epoch Times Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has ordered armed forces to collect all U.S.-made military weaponry found in the country and “demolish” or keep them in warehouses, after the United States imposed an arms embargo on Cambodia over Chinese military influence there.
The State Department announced the embargo on Dec. 8, citing concerns over corruption and human rights abuses in Cambodia, as well as “deepening Chinese military influence”.
The aim of the embargo, which amends the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), is to ensure that “defense articles and defense services” that were set to be imported or exported by Cambodia are not done so without prior review and approval by the U.S. government.
