The United States blacklisted 38 Irish firms and individuals for aiding the enemy, marking the first use of economic sanctions tied to Eire’s February decision to not eject Axis officials. The list targets firms with suspected cooperation, facing denial of facilities and postwar penalties. The State Department refused to detail activities or identities. Ireland had been urged to eject Axis authorities, a request Britain and the U S pressed after Dublin refused. The move signals broader use of the black list against neutral European concerns not aligned with Allied interests.
