#finance #investment - Earthquake Rocks Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam; US Ukraine Investment Aims | Bloomberg The Pulse 03/28

28 March 2025

Myanmar was struck by its biggest earthquake in a century, shaking buildings and triggering evacuations in neighboring Vietnam and Thailand, with at least one tower collapsing in Bangkok. The quake on Friday measured 7.7 in magnitude, according to the USGS, which said it was 16 kilometers northwest of Sagaing, Myanmar and at a depth of 10 kilometers. It struck at about 1:21 p.m. in Bangkok and was the strongest worldwide since 2023, according to the US Geological Survey data compiled by Bloomberg.

There was a second temblor of 6.4 magnitude around the same area, the USGS said. In geopolitics, the US is pushing to control all major future infrastructure and mineral investments in Ukraine, potentially gaining a veto over any role for Kyiv’s other allies and undermining its bid for European Union membership.

President Donald Trump’s administration is demanding the “right of first offer” on investments in all infrastructure and natural resources projects under a revised partnership deal with Ukraine, according to a draft of the document obtained by Bloomberg News.
