Major trade and business operations in Myanmar are in a bind following the military coup against the government of Myanmar and the sanctions imposed by the US on Burmese military officials. Sanctions have been imposed by the US Department of Treasury on 10 current and former military officials responsible for the coup or associated with the Burmese military regime.
