FILE - In this March 30, 2016 file photo, Aung San Suu Kyi, right, and Htin Kyaw, second from right, newly elected president of Myanmar, attend a ceremony to take oaths in parliament in Naypyitaw, Myanmar. For nearly 30 years, Aung San Suu Kyi starred as arguably the world’s most prominent and revered political prisoner, a courageous champion of human rights and democracy in her military-ruled nation. As she completes her first 100 days in power, the Nobel Prize laureate’s halo has all but vaporized on the global stage: Suu Kyi is being assailed for ignoring the plight of the oppressed Rohingya Muslims, failing to stop atrocities against other ethnic minorities and abetting moves to erase from collective memory the bloody history of the generals she replaced.

FILE - In this June 7, 2016, file photo, U.S. President Barack Obama and Indian Prime Minister India Narendra Modi shake hands before their meeting in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington.

Newspapers have run daily front-page stories heralding progress on the nuclear front after Obama came out in support of Indian membership in the Nuclear Suppliers Group, which led other nations including Mexico and Switzerland to suggest they, too, were on board.
