BANGKOK — Myanmar’s military government has arrested a Japanese business executive, along with dozens of local businessmen, for allegedly selling rice at prices well above the officially regulated ones, state-run media said Monday.

Hayashi said the Japanese government will provide necessary support for him through the embassy and “the government of Japan will call on the local authorities to release the Japanese national as soon as possible."Lara Trump’s Latest Donald Trump Claim Receives Easiest Fact Check Of All TimeOTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has released a video message to Canadians on Canada Day.
