The US government is imposing sanctions on two adult children of the leader of the Myanmar military junta, Min Aung Hlaing, and six companies they control. Aung Pyae Sone and Khin Thiri Thet have used their relationship with their father, the head of the armed forces,
"for a long time to enrich themselves," said US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
After the US move, Great Britain is also examining additional measures against Myanmar, said Foreign Minister Dominic Raab.
