Pence schools Myanmar while US military prepares to hold back Central American refugees

US VICE-PRESIDENT Mike Pence attempted to school Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi over her country’s persecution of Rohingya Muslims at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Singapore yesterday.

Mr Pence told Ms Suu Kyi he was anxious to hear how her country was resolving the crisis and how the Rohingya could return home safely.

“The violence and persecution by military and vigilantes that resulted in driving 700,000 Rohingya to Bangladesh is without excuse,” he said.
