US officials have said they are in contact with the Gulf states about the ongoing situation in Sudan.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan made the comments in a press conference on Tuesday, adding that the US was looking at the full range of economic tools at its disposal to address the situation following Monday's coup.
"We firmly reject the assertions that this is within the authority of the military leadership in Sudan," he told reporters.
"From our perspective, these actions are utterly unacceptable."
