We welcome yesterday’s UN Security Council vote renewing the mandate of the UN Support Mission in Libya (@UNSMILibya). UNSMIL’s work complements the U.S. initiative and efforts to enable Libya to achieve a single, unified executive authority that is fully able to assert Libya's sovereignty.  Libya stands before a historic opportunity. However, some spoilers may think that they have something to gain by standing in the way of Libya’s political transition.  This resolution—as well as the U.S. initiative—recalls the measures of Resolution 2174, which established that those who obstruct or undermine Libya's political transition are subject to designation by the Sanctions Committee. The United States will not hesitate to pursue serious consequences against those who deliberately stand in the way of this initiative.  The United States will continue to support these Libyan-led efforts, in coordination with UNSMIL, toward national elections and a stable, unified, and prosperous Libya.  Under President Trump’s leadership, the U.S. initiative and efforts offer a path towards that future—a unified Libya, at peace with itself, and finally realizing its extraordinary potential.
