- Humanitarian assistance to continue but review is underway
- U.S. says it hasn’t been in touch with coup leaders, detainees
The U.S. formally declared the military takeover in Myanmar a coup, prompting a review of foreign assistance and the possibility of new sanctions against the country’s leaders.
Many of the officials who orchestrated the coup were also responsible for atrocities committed against Rohingya Muslims and already faced punishment from the U.S., a State Department official told reporters Tuesday on condition of anonymity. There’s no timeline for the review, but humanitarian assistance won’t be affected, the official said.
State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters Tuesday that the U.S. has been coordinating its response with “like-minded” allies in Europe as well as India and Japan. That leaves out China, the most influential country when it comes to Myanmar’s military leadership and its economy.

The United States reiterated its appreciation to Bangladesh for accepting the refugees but said it was "concerned" about last week's transfer of more than 1,600 Rohingya and plans to move more.
