The United States is expected to provide more humanitarian aid to Myanmar following the end of the 90-day suspension period, according to a spokesperson from the National Unity Government (NUG) President’s Office.
The spokesperson made this statement during the NUG’s public and international briefing on Tuesday.
“The United States halted aid during the 90-day suspension period, impacting refugees in Myanmar and around the world,” said U Kyaw Zaw.
“We have heard that the U.S. will resume assistance in line with its foreign policy after a review. We hope that once this temporary suspension ends, the United States will provide even more humanitarian aid to the suffering people of Myanmar.”
According to the spokesperson from the President’s Office, the military junta has destroyed over 100,000 civilian homes in Myanmar, displacing four million people internally and leaving 15 million in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.
“In delivering humanitarian aid, the U.S. government and its people can be more effective and cost-efficient by working directly with local governance structures and organizations on the ground, as well as through cross-border assistance,” the spokesperson suggested.
This approach will ensure aid reaches those in need directly.”
Since taking office, U.S. President Donald Trump has issued an executive order suspending nearly all U.S. foreign aid for 90 days.
Additionally, the Trump administration has continued to designate Myanmar as a country posing a significant threat to U.S. national security.
