Biden announces EO allowing US to sanction those connected to military takeover in Myanmar

Biden announced Wednesday afternoon that he had approved an executive order allowing the United States to sanction individuals and entities connected to the military’s seizure of power in Myanmar, which the U.S. last week labeled a “coup.” He said the order would enable the U.S. “to immediately sanction the military leaders who directed the coup, their business interests, as well as close family members.”President Joe Biden speaks as he makes a statement at the South Court Auditorium at Eisenhower Executive Building in Washington, Feb. 10, 2021.

“We will identify a first round of targets this week,” Biden said. “And we're also going to impose strong exports controls. We’re freezing U.S. assets that benefit the Burmese government, while maintaining our support for health care, civil society groups, and other areas that benefit the people of Burma directly.”The president also said the U.S.

As he had done last week, Biden called on the military to “relinquish power” and “immediately release the democratic political leaders and activists.” He specifically called for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and Myanmar’s president, Win Myint.

Can this man do any presidential work at all besides executive orders? Is that all he knows just sign his name? Really Great President you got there

How many EO is that now?

Should that be Congress job making that decision by passing sanction. Or is it what Biden called one that sign many executive orders a dictator? And that what he like to be called A Dictator?

It’s none of his business.
