️🇺🇸🇲🇲 Reuters: A delegation of US officials traveled to Myanmar this week and met with the military-backed government to secure the release of detained US citizen and former Marine Adam Castillo, marking the most significant US involvement in Myanmar since the 2021 coup.

Myanmar said it freed and deported Castillo, who had been held since June following a business dispute, citing "bilateral friendly relations" between the two countries, while Washington has avoided high-level talks with Naypyitaw since the coup, which triggered a wave of US sanctions against Myanmar's military leadership.
