Donald Trump has imposed a tariff on Myanmar.
Highlights
- Trump imposed 40% tariff on Myanmar
- General Halang described Tariff as a symbol of respect
- Myanmar’s military government considers it a diplomatic sign
This statement was published on Friday in Myanmar’s official newspaper ‘Global New Light of Myanmar’. In the year 2021, the democratic government of Myanmar was demolished by Halang and his army and seized power. The US and Western countries do not recognize the military government of Myanmar. But this letter of Trump was hoped by Halang, considering that the US would consider lifting the economic sanctions. This is why he has become happy. In his statement addressed to Trump, General Halang praised his ‘efforts towards patriotism and global peace’.

Conflict since coup
He also welcomed the cuts in the funds received by the Trump administration to media like Voice of America and Radio Free Asia, which have been voicing against government repression in Myanmar so far. A terrible civil war has been going on in Myanmar since the army grabbed power. This has been going on for the last five years. Pro-democracy fighters and ethnic rebellion groups are fighting in different parts of the country. The United Nations and other human rights groups have accused the army of war crimes as it is struggling to hold power.
Why are the generals of Myanmar happy?
The US, UK and European Union have banned Myanmar’s army. The global platform has limited contact with its representatives. The US and most of the western countries do not deploy full recognized ambassadors in their capital, which is a diplomatic neglect. The General of Myanmar has been angry with this for a long time. But this week he is happy to receive a letter from America. General Halang, citing Trump’s claim of alleged rigging in the 2020 presidential elections in the US, said, “Myanmar also had the same electoral disturbances.” But the thing to note is that in the 2020 Myanmar elections, the Nobel Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi’s party got an overwhelming majority, which was recognized by independent election. A few weeks later, the army captured power.
