The United States announced this morning the lifting of sanctions on allies of Myanmar's junta, following praise for President Donald Trump from a Myanmar general. The decision comes as the U.S. government aims to re-evaluate its approach to the Southeast Asian nation. According to Reuters, the sanctions relief was granted after a Myanmar general commended President Trump. The specifics of the general's praise and the exact timing of the sanctions lifting were not immediately detailed in the reports. In domestic political news, House Republicans are reportedly facing pressure from the President regarding investigations.
