Thailand has asked President Donald Trump for a “better” trade deal as the two countries press ahead with tariff talks following a US-brokered peace agreement between Bangkok and Phnom Penh.
Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul made a direct plea to Trump during an informal chat after a dinner with other leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit late Wednesday in South Korea, according to a Thai government statement. Trump told Anutin that he would talk to US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on the matter, Thai government spokesman Siripong Angkasakulkiat said in the statement.
