Aung San Suu Kyi Urges U.S. to Drop More Burma Sanctions
Seems to have changed her mind on the effectiveness of the measures
Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who is visiting the US, has said she supports further easing of sanctions against Burma's government.
She made the comments after talks with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Mrs Clinton, for her part, warned Burma's military-backed government against "backsliding".
Western sanctions against Burma have already been loosened since the new government began enacting a series of political and social reforms.
