On February 1, 2021, the Burmese military announced that it had seized control of the country from the country's democratically elected government.
1 In response to the coup, the US has so far designated 12 individuals and three entities and imposed restrictions on certain exports. Allied governments, including the European Union, the United Kingdom and Canada, either have promulgated their own sanctions or are considering doing so. The US has signaled that it is preparing additional measures targeting the individuals responsible for the coup and ensuing violence. Given the Burmese military's pervasive presence in Burma's economy, companies are advised, as a matter of priority, to assess their commercial ties with Burma.
