US lifting import ban on Myanmar goods. The United States is to ease a ban on imports from Myanmar, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Myanmar leader Thein Sein, lifting the last major trade sanction on the country. The move, which will have to be carried out in conjunction with Congress, comes just over a week after democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi started a historic visit to the United States by calling for an end to sanctions.
Clinton Wednesday told the Myanmar president that in recognition of the rapid reforms made by Myanmar, once ruled by a military junta, the US is taking the next step in normalizing our commercial relationship. US officials will now have to examine each sector with Congress and decide how best to go about easing the sanctions. Thein Sein met Clinton Wed ahead of his address to the UN General Assembly on Thursday, during a landmark visit to the United States that coincides with a triumphal American tour by Suu Kyi.
