US lifts sanctions on Myanmar businessman's daughter

The US Treasury removed Theint Win Htet, daughter of a Myanmar businessman accused of backing the military government, from its sanctions list on Friday after she sued. The delisting follows reports that the Trump administration has opened talks with Myanmar's government, a shift from years of US policy. Advocacy group Justice For Myanmar condemned the decision.
