The United States will announce further sanctions against entities inside Myanmar in the coming days, a senior State Department official said on Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters in Jakarta, U.S. State Department Counselor Derek Chollet said the sanctions will make it more difficult for Myanmar's junta to generate revenue to buy weapons.
Myanmar's military overthrew an elected government in 2021 and has since led a lethal crackdown on dissent, trapping the country in chaos.targeting junta members, the military government's agencies, and military-run companies, seeking to curb their ability to raise money. "One way that can happen is if the junta is no longer able to import arms and we would make a very large step in that direction if Russia were to stop supplying arms to Myanmar," he said.
