This action means that Rogan's property and financial interests in the U.S. are no longer blocked, and U.S. persons are free to engage in transactions with him. This decision was made under the authority of Executive Order 13818, which targets people involved in serious human rights abuses or corruption. The change took effect on April 15, 2025.
