Myanmar violence outrageous, US working on sanctions: Biden

Washington, March 29 : US President Joe Biden on Sunday called the military violence in Myanmar "absolutely outrageous" and said Washington was working on reacting with sanctions. The situation in Myanmar, which has seen almost daily protests since a military coup in February, was "terrible," Biden said in comments reported by journalists travelling with the US President on his return from Delaware to Washington, DPA news agency reported. Asked whether the US would respond with sanctions, Biden said "we're working on that now." The bloodiest day of violence so far on Saturday - which marked Armed Forces Day in Myanmar - reportedly left 114 people dead. /IANS
