US sanctions Myanmar military leaders
Washington
US PRESIDENT Joe Biden said his administration will sanction military leaders in Myanmar linked to this month's coup and will ensure the country's military leadership cannot access about US$1 billion in government funds held in the US.
"I've approved a new executive order enabling us to immediately sanction the military leaders who directed the coup, their business interests, as well as close family members," Mr Biden said in brief remarks on Wednesday before visiting the Pentagon. "We will identify a first round of targets this week, and we're also going to impose strong export controls."
