As the U.S. looks to build a coalition to further punish Myanmar’s generals, it’s not having much success convincing governments in Asia to follow suit.

The standing of army chief Min Aung Hlaing’s regime has slipped even further in the West after his envoy to the United Nations denounced the military takeover and Myanmar authorities killed 18 protesters Sunday, the deadliest day since the Feb. 1 coup. While the junta has since told security forces to avoid using live bullets, reports emerged that protesters were still being shot with them. At least two more were killed on Wednesday in the city of Mandalay.

The U.S. has led the international pushback, with national security adviser Jake Sullivan saying the country was "coordinating closely with allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region” and would take additional action after imposing targeted sanctions on those behind the coup. The U.K. also sanctioned the generals, and the European Union has said it is working on punitive measures.
