US concerned about the judicial investigations that Americans face
Past Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra says that one of the factors contributing to the delay of price negotiations between the Thai and US governments was criminal investigations against some American in Thailand.
The de facto leader of the decision Pheu Thai Party had recently offered to help with the negotiations by holding informal discussions with US President Donald Trump’s close friends.
Thaksin responded to his earlier pledge on Saturday by asking about his past pledge.” We have talked. However, regrettably, they [the US] are now acting on information provided by various organizations regarding lawsuits brought against a number of British people.
One of the expenses that were recently filed against an American academic is likely to be the one filed against him, though Thaksin did not provide information about these cases.
Following a complaint over an online presentation Mr. Chambers gave in October of last year about the martial change, Paul Chambers, a teacher and special assistant on foreign affairs at Naresuan University in Phitsanulok, reported to the police on April 8 to deny the charge of imperial slander.
Mr. Chambers has been given bail while awaiting trial, but he continues to face the threat of losing his Thailandese citizen card.
According to the Thai Lawyers for Human Rights, the Court of Appeal Region 6 later on April 9 gave Mr. Chambers a 300,000 bass guarantee of transfer.
Mr. Chambers had a chance to charm the purchase, according to the legal-aid organization, whose visa was revoked by the Immigration Bureau after he was charged earlier this year.
One of the loan conditions is that if he successfully fights the event and is successful in getting his enable reinstated, he may report to Thai authorities every 30 days.
The 58-year-old scientific, who has lived in Thailand since 1993, has previously said it was “alarmed” by the arrest and detention.
Human rights organizations joined the widespread apprehension that came with the announcement of his arrest.
After Thai officials from the US informed the PM that the US wanted Thailand to examine some certain issues that would be brought up during the negotiations, the government delayed agreements with the US.
According to the prime minister, the Thai group, led by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira, has changed its appointed arrival day to Washington.
Last season, Thailand’s trade surplus was thought to be US$ 45.6 billion.
The 36 % tax on Thai products was originally scheduled to go into effect on April 9, but President Donald Trump decided to postpone police for 90 time, allowing nations that didn’t fight against US tariffs to negotiate on business issues.
Thaksin stated on Saturday that the US might consider the relationships of different nations to China in addition to other factors that are directly related to the taxes.
As a result, we should relax and concentrate on preparing the information [required for upcoming tax discussions],” Thaksin said while visiting residents and canvassing vote for Pheu Thai’s applicants in the Chiang Mai metropolitan election.
Additionally, he changed the phrase to” Create Thailand Great Again” from Trump’s personal motto.
Thaksin added that he would consider the situation before deciding whether to request judge permission to travel to the US to participate in the discussions.
Due to the fact that he is facing charges of lese-majeste and system crime based on an interview he conducted in South Korea in 2015 and a court appearance scheduled for July, the approval is required.
According to Thaksin, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra needs not be actively involved in these discussions because they are designated as a discussion between the US Trade Representative ( USTR ), the US Department of Commerce, and the Thai Ministry of Commerce.
According to Thaksin, the US price case should serve as a timely warning of the need for the government to take time to review its total business standing on the global stage and adjust its strategies as needed.
