diplomatic sanctions
State-imposed trade restrictions
Diplomatic sanctions are measures governments take to express disapproval of another nation's conduct by restricting official relations.
These range from recalling ambassadors and expelling diplomats to severing ties entirely.
Unlike economic sanctions, which target trade and finance, diplomatic sanctions focus on formal state-to-state communication and representation: The country faced diplomatic sanctions after the assassination of a dissident on foreign soil.
