The Trump administration is slated to announce today that it is loosening restrictions on the use of landmines, in order to roll back an Obama-era policy that restricted the use of landmines to the Korean Peninsula. The new policy is expected to allow the U.S. to use landmines anywhere in the world. This could make the United States one of only a few countries, including Burma, Syria and North Korea, that would continue to use landmines despite an international treaty banning their use.
