Who runs Myanmar today?
Myanmar has been under military rule since a coup in 2021, which overthrew the democratically elected government. The military, led by Min Aung Hlaing, installed itself as the governing authority. Most international bodies and many countries do not recognise this military government as legitimate, which makes US talks notable.
