Trump Administration: Policy Experts and Suu Kyi

trump administration: Tillerson could receive the recommendation as early as this week, said officials familiar with the process, according to CTV. He will then decide whether to adopt the advice of his agency's policy experts and lawyers. That assessment would raise pressure on the Trump administration to consider new sanctions on a country that had been lauded for its democratic transition. At a Senate hearing Tuesday, outraged U.S. lawmakers pressed the administration to unequivocally adopt the term. But Suu Kyi and her government allies have little control over Myanmar's still powerful military, which is blamed for a brutal crackdown on Muslims in Rakhine State that has caused more than 600,000 refugees to flee to Bangladesh. A declaration of ethnic cleansing by the top U.S. diplomat would mark a reversal of fortune in American relations with the country also known as Burma, whose civilian government has been under the leadership of Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi for more than a year.
