Trump Offers Aid to Quake-Hit Myanmar as Its Ties With Russia Grow

After a strong 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar and components of Thailand, killing over 150 folks, President Donald Trump has promised U.S. help. Myanmar’s junta chief made a uncommon plea for worldwide help because the nation faces the twin challenges of civil unrest and a fragile infrastructure. The earthquake comes as Myanmar deepens its relationship with Russia, together with talks on nuclear collaboration. Trump confirmed that the U.S. has already began conversations to offer fast help.
