US Lifts Myanmar Sanctions After Junta Chief Praises Trump
In a move raising eyebrows across the human rights community, the United States has quietly removed sanctions on several close allies of Myanmar's military regime—just weeks after the junta leader publicly praised former President Donald Trump and appealed for economic relief. The unexpected decision, announced by the U.S. Treasury Department on Thursday, lifts restrictions on four individuals and three companies previously targeted for their ties to Myanmar’s military. The sanctioned entities had been blacklisted under the Biden administration for supporting a regime accused of war crimes, a bloody coup, and violent crackdowns on democracy. Among those delisted are KT Services & Logistics, MCM Group, and Suntac Technologies, along with their respective owners, as well as a figure identified as Tin Latt Min—all known for close connections to the junta leadership. No official explanation was provided for the reversal, and the White House has yet to comment. Human Rights Watch condemned the move as “extremely worrying,” suggesting it signals a shift in Washington’s stance toward the military regime. John Sifton, the group’s Asia advocacy director, called the action “shocking” and warned it could undermine years of international pressure. The timing has not gone unnoticed. Just two weeks earlier, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing sent a letter to Trump requesting a reduction in looming U.S. tariffs and asking for sanctions to be lifted. In the message, made public by Myanmar’s state media, the junta chief praised Trump’s leadership and offered to send negotiators to Washington. The general also pointed to Myanmar’s importance in the global rare earth supply chain—a sector increasingly strategic amid U.S.–China rivalry. While Myanmar holds vast reserves, many of its mines lie in rebel-held territory and feed into China’s processing system. The policy shift could have far-reaching consequences. Activists fear it will embolden the junta and discourage those fighting for a return to democracy. As Myanmar remains gripped by conflict and authoritarian rule, critics argue the U.S. risks sacrificing human rights for geopolitical gain. -2025-07-25- 1
