USA imposed sanctions against juridical and physical persons of Belarus, China, Venezuela, Iran, Syria and Sudan by accusing them of violating the non-proliferation regime, news agency ITAR-TASS reports referring to the U.S. Department of State.

The sanctions are imposed on two organisations in Belarus – TM Services Limited (TMS) and the managing company of Radar Systems Holding and its subsidiaries, the State Department said. The sanctions imply that the U.S. government is banned to sign contracts with these companies in order to acquire goods, service and technologies.
