WASHINGTON, Feb 2 (China Daily/ANN) - US President Joe Biden on Monday threatened to reimpose sanctions on Myanmar's military leaders and called for a concerted international response to press them to relinquish power they seized in a coup.
A Biden statement condemned the military's takeover from the civilian-led government on Monday and its detention of elected leader and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi as "a direct assault on the country's transition to democracy and the rule of law."
