Biden announces sanctions on Myanmar coup leaders

President Biden on Wednesday announced sanctions on the military leaders who directed the recent coup in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma. Watch Mr. Biden's remarks to reporters at the White House.

Calling out military coups is always worth doing. I believe the term “Myanmar” is the name preferred by the illegal government, not the people. That’s why he is refusing to use this name for the country.

No one knows about a coup better than this administration.

Words are fine ... Real actions needed against the military official who involved in the coup

Thank you for calling it Burma and not Myanmar. This little word means so much to oppressed minorities in Burma.

Joe, that was a TOTALLY unnecessary waste of political capital. “Burma.”

C’mon, man.

Thank you, Mr President. Please save our Burma from a military coup. Please, dear Mr President.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thanks for the support for Burmese people and please don’t let them get hurt. I’m a Burmese whose studying in USA and some of my friends are families are Burma. I’m worried on how the violence will grow bigger and their security.

He is a mess. He coughs at every conference. He is unfit

Burmese rebels are who we need to be selling weapons to, not Middle Eastern militias.
