Does US really care about Thai workers … or is it America First?
US commerce secretary Wilbur Ross on Monday wrapped up his two-day visit to Bangkok by assuring his hosts that Washington was open to negotiations over its decision to suspend the duty-free status of Thai imports.
After a meeting with Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, Ross told a business forum on the sidelines of a summit for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean): “There’s still time to renegotiate the underlying issue of workers’ rights.”
