The Thai ambassador to Washington foresees better ties with Donald Trump in the White House. Mr Trump had said he would attach importance to long-standing friendly nations with mutual interests, Mr Pisan said. Thai-American relations went back 183 years, and the two countries had considerable mutual interests, the ambassador said. Mr Pisan did not appear too concerned about Mr Trump's threat to raise import tariffs. Mr Trump already vowed to be a president for all Americans, the ambassador to Washington said.
