The Biden administration has expanded its Myanmar sanctions regime to target foreigners involved in the Asian nation’s jet fuel industry, reports the Centre Daily Times.
Applauding the sanctions, Mark Farmaner, Director of Burma Campaign UK, said “The US has been playing whack-a-mole sanctioning Burmese linked companies involved in aviation fuel which then just change name or ownership. With this new determination the USA can now start sanctioning international companies and stop aviation fuel reaching Burma in the first place.
“The UK and EU must now follow the USA and ban UK and EU companies from being involved in aviation fuel deliveries to Burma.”
