The United States has opened direct talks with Myanmar's military government, reversing years of diplomatic isolation following the 2021 coup. The outreach focuses on shutting down transnational scam centers but could expand to critical mineral supply chains. The shift marks a pivot from democracy promotion toward transactional diplomacy under President Donald Trump.
