The U.S. has sanctioned Myanmar's military junta and refused to acknowledge its rule, so Mr. Trump's personal letter to its leader was welcomed, despite the subject.

While nations worldwide express concern over new U.S. tariffs, Myanmar's military ruler, Min Aung Hlaing, has surprisingly embraced them as a sign of global recognition. His dictatorial government is reportedly touting a formal letter from U.

Myanmar's ruling military general has asked U.S. President Donald Trump for a reduction in the 40% tariff rate on his country's exports to the U.S. and is ready to send a negotiation team to Washington if needed,

Myanmar’s junta chief Min Aung Hlaing praised Donald Trump in a rare letter and compared his military’s coup to the US president’s baseless claims of election fraud, suggesting both leaders were victims of rigged votes.

The tariffs were detailed in official letters shared by Donald Trump on his Truth Social account, with rates scheduled to take effect from August 1.

India may secure a strategic edge over regional rivals as the Trump administration considers a trade pact slashing proposed tariffs below 20 per cent. Unlike many nations facing sharp hikes, India is unlikely to receive a formal tariff notice ahead of the August 1 deadline.

With a history of a reactive and punitive policy towards the Myanmar military regime which ruled the country for the majority of the years since independence, the US adopted the same approach post the 2021 military coup.
