US Wants Thailand to Fix Trade Issues as Tariff Talks Stall

Talks between the US and Thailand over Trump administration’s plans to impose a hefty 36% tariff have been postponed after Washington asked the Southeast Asian nation to address a set of “issues” related to trade, officials said.

No new dates have been set for talks after the two sides agreed to postpone negotiations previously slated for April 23, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra told reporters on Tuesday. She didn’t specify what the issues were.
