Myanmar activists blast Trump ally Stone for lobbying role
Campaigners said Stone is being paid $50,000 a month to help Myanmar’s information ministry rebuild ties with Washington.
- On Tuesday, Myanmar campaigners denounced US lobbyist Roger Stone, a close confidante of President Donald Trump, for accepting $50,000 a month to "rebuild" the Southeast Asian government's relations with Washington.

- Campaign group Justice For Myanmar said the work was registered "after the junta's last rebrand," adding Stone profits from US-sanctioned enterprises tied to war crimes and crimes against humanity.
- Stone is a long-time conservative activist who served as a Trump campaign consultant; in 2020, he was sentenced to 40 months in prison for hindering a congressional probe into whether Trump's first electoral bid conspired with Russia.
- The military-backed government uses the appearance of political reform to rehabilitate its image after restricted elections, though critics describe the administration as a "civilian fig leaf" for military rule under coup leader Min Aung Hlaing.
