arms embargo
Military trade prohibition
An arms embargo is a government prohibition on selling or transferring weapons to a particular country, group, or region.
Arms embargoes are typically imposed as diplomatic pressure or punishment: The UN Security Council voted to impose an arms embargo on the regime.
