This is in Washington's most recent move to compel the nation's legislators to frame a solidarity government, Reuters reports.
The Treasury Department said Gai purportedly organized and coordinated the supposed killings of resistance legislator Aggrey Ezibon and human rights legal advisor Dong Luak in a transition to hardening his situation in the administration.

Gai, previous legislative leader of an oil-rich area in South Sudan, has for quite some time been an incredible government figure in the nation with close connections to President Salva Kiir.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo gave an announcement approaching the administration and resistance pioneers to make good ways from the individuals who ruin the harmony procedure.
He said Gai, for Kiir, acted to "separation and sow doubt, broaden the contention in South Sudan, and block the compromise and harmony process."
In December 2019, the U.S. boycotted two South Sudanese bureau priests, days in the wake of slapping sanctions on five lower-level authorities.
It included that they are liable for the presumable homicide of the two human rights activists in 2017.
"Taban Deng Gai's endeavor to quietness the resistance is wrecking the nation's capacity to actualize a harmony understanding," said Treasury Deputy Secretary Justin Muzinich in the announcement.
