WASHINGTON, 5 March, 2021 (TON): Following Myanmar’s unrest, the U.S. Department of Commerce has entered Myanmar’s Defense Ministry, Ministry of Home Affairs, and two commercial entities in trade blacklist.

On Thursday, the media reported that the department has also adopted more restrictive export control measures against the Southeast Asian country.  

The United States last month designated multiple Myanmar military leaders and blacklisted three entities related to the military or security forces of Myanmar.

After the President U Win Myint and State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi along with other officials of the NLD were detained by the military coup on 1 February, 2021, Myanmar was in the state of emergency, for the military alleged that there was massive voting fraud in November 2020 general elections, however, the election commission denied the allegations.
