United States and EU hit Myanmar's Junta with fresh sanctions

WASHINGTON, Nov 10 (Bernama): The United States and the European Union imposed sanctions targeting Myanmar's junta on Tuesday, the two-year anniversary of the last election of the country's ousted civilian government.

The two allies have repeatedly imposed punitive measures against Myanmar since Feb 1, 2021, when the country's military overthrew the government of Aung San Suu Kyi on widely debunked charges of voter fraud during the Nov 8, 2020, election, in which Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy gained overwhelming public support.
