#ThaiEnquirer News Summary – April 4, 2025 · ‘Reciprocal Tariff’ is @ 37% not 36% Donald Trump’s graphic that showed 36% tariff for Thailand was WRONG, the paper his administration signed off said 37%.

Not sure if this has been posted. One moment please.

Does it really matter. She the PM survives the vote.

Although she wasn't the PM at the time Thaksin was admitted to his luxury hospital suite.

The brain, at that moment, is telling you to eat marmite right now.

Also Radio Free Asia Saksith Saiyasombut This is heartbreaking and infuriating - and incredibly shortsighted and narrow-minded. (1/3) The federal grants that fund Radio Free Asia and partner networks were terminated Saturday morning, according to a grant termination notice received by RFA. Jonathan Head Agree wholeheartedly.
