South Court Auditorium
Eisenhower Executive Office Building
BRIEFING ROOM1:22 P.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you for being here on short notice. I’m going to be very brief, but I — because the Vice President and I are heading over the Pentagon for an extensive briefing and to make some comments, as we did at the State Department. So I’m going to be going from here to there, and you’ll get me there as well.
I want to say good afternoon, everyone. I wanted to give you an update on the latest regarding our response to the military coup in Burma.
As you know, the assault on Burma’s transition to democracy remains an issue of deep bipartisan concern. We’ve consulted at length, for example, with Senator McConnell, who’s had a very keen interest in this, and his team. And we welcomed their helpful insights.
