Biden also said, “We’re freezing U.S. assets that benefit the Burmese government, while maintaining our support for health care, civil society groups and other areas that benefit the people of Burma directly.”

And he called on the military to refrain from using violence, as it has, against protestors exercising their democratic rights to object to the coup.

Biden last week had condemned the military takeover of the civilian-led government, calling it “a direct assault on the country’s transition to democracy and rule of law.”
