Sudan and United States
Sudan scores 55/100 toward United States (neutrality or uncertainty), while United States scores 25/100 back.
Sudan toward United States
The coverage mentions Sudan in the context of a US-led drone strike and routine participation in US-hosted talks on the Renaissance Dam, but provides no evidence of Sudanese diplomatic initiatives, public statements, or bilateral cooperation toward the US. The absence of positive bilateral engagement details results in a neutral score.
United States toward Sudan
The US posture is characterized by diplomatic pressure and punitive measures, specifically senators calling for UN sanctions to cut off conflict funding and the execution of a lethal drone strike resulting in civilian casualties. While Washington hosts negotiations on the dam, the dominant actions reported are coercive rather than cooperative.
