Because of Ethiopian failure to take meaningful steps to provide compensation to Americans whose properties had been expropriated, the United States suspended foreign assistance in 1979, pursuant to the Hickenlooper Amendment. The United States had also begun voting in various multilateral development banks against proposed loans to Ethiopia and had denied generalized tariff preferences to Ethiopia.
