PM not worried about Trump trade policies
Thailand should remain calm about new US trade policies, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said on April 4, adding that he has assigned relevant ministries to study the issues. He also noted the 180 years of relations between the two countries. Also, Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak on April 4 briefed ministers at the weekly Cabinet meeting on key trade issues between Thailand and the United States, a major trading partner, according to a source. Potential issues that the US could raise with Thailand were protection of intellectual-property rights (IPR), alleged manipulation of the baht, and the arms trade, the source quoted Somkid as saying.
