LONDON: Britain is "urgently" considering imposing sanctions on Myanmar over last week’s coup, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said on Thursday after the US announced sanctions against the military leadership.
London "is urgently looking at further measures under our own sanctions regimes," Raab tweeted. He expressed support after President Joe Biden on Wednesday announced sanctions against the Southeast Asian nation’s generals and demanded they relinquish power.
"The UK welcomes @POTUS steps today to send a strong message to the military regime," Raab tweeted. Prime Minister Boris Johnson last week condemned the coup in Myanmar and the imprisonment of civilian de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
