Trump Unveils 25% Auto Tariffs, Escalating Global Trade Tensions
ADJUSTING IMPORTS OF AUTOMOBILES AND AUTOMOBILE PARTS INTO THE UNITED STATES https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/adjusting-imports-of-automobiles-and-autombile-parts-into-the-united-states/ I think trump plans to announce new, reciprocal tariffs next Wednesday, on what he calls "Liberation Day". Trump’s Reciprocal-Tariffs Calculations Remain Unclear Before the Big Reveal on April 2 On February 13, President Donald Trump issued a Fair and Reciprocal Plan designed to reduce U.S. trade deficits in goods. The plan will assess “non-reciprocal trade relationships” and respond by imposing tariffs calibrated to targeted countries’ total trade barriers. The tariffs are scheduled to be announced on April 2. The administration has not provided details on how the reciprocal tariffs will be calculated and which countries will be targeted. However, Trump’s team has indicated that reciprocal rates will reflect a combination of factors specific to each country, such as their tariff rates, value-added taxes (VATs), nontariff measures, and foreign-exchange policies. On March 18, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent stated that the administration will focus on partners with whom the United States has a large trade deficit. Bessent referenced the “Dirty Fifteen,” which he explained as the fifteen percent of countries that make up “a huge amount of our trading volume.” To date, no countries have been officially named. https://www.cfr.org/article/trumps-reciprocal-tariffs-calculations-remain-unclear-big-reveal-april-2 Thailand is in the "Dirty Fifteen". https://realeconomy.rsmus.com/market-minute-the-dirty-15-or-those-economies-likely-to-be-targeted-with-selected-tariffs/ -

Trump Offers Aid as Myanmar Junta Appeals for Earthquake Relief
A devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake has struck central Myanmar, leaving at least 150 dead and many more feared trapped beneath collapsed buildings. The quake, which also shook neighbouring Thailand, has forced Myanmar’s ruling military junta to issue a rare plea for international aid. A Desperate Appeal Myanmar’s military chief, Min Aung Hlaing, visited a hospital in Naypyidaw, where survivors are being treated. Junta spokesperson Zaw Min Tun urged the global community to provide immediate humanitarian assistance, a striking move from a government that typically resists outside intervention. A state of emergency has been declared across six regions, including Mandalay, Sagaing, and Magway. Trump’s Response Amid Aid Cuts In Washington, President Donald Trump acknowledged the disaster, stating, “We’re going to be helping. We’ve already alerted the people. Yeah, it’s terrible what happened.” However, his administration’s drastic cuts to USAID and the State Department’s humanitarian programmes have left the US response capabilities in question. Sarah Charles, a former senior USAID official, warned that the agency is now “in shambles,” lacking the staff and resources for an effective disaster response. The Trump administration recently announced the closure of USAID, raising doubts over how the US can deliver the promised aid. A Region in Crisis The earthquake's impact extends beyond Myanmar, with tremors felt as far as India, China, and Cambodia. In Bangkok, a 34-storey building collapsed, killing at least 10 people. The full scale of the disaster remains unclear, but with Myanmar’s infrastructure already weakened by years of conflict and economic turmoil, the need for international aid is urgent. The coming days will test not only Myanmar’s ability to manage the crisis but also the effectiveness of global humanitarian efforts—particularly from an America now lacking its once-formidable aid network. -2025-03-29 -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
All of these discounts are permanent. When they say it's temporary it's just a marketing tactic. They may raise the price again for a few weeks or even months but it will quickly come back down once sales drop. I think now is a bad time to buy a new car whether it's ICE or EV. Prices are still going down and we are still some way from the bottom...don't try to catch a falling knife and all. -

Earthquake Rocks Bangkok: Building Collapses with 40 people inside
I thought it was quite funny until my ultrawide monitor started rocking that hard it almost fell on the floor. Is like you are shaking your own desk with 2 hands on purpose using quite some force.
