    In 2016 and 2017, U.S. trade officials lambasted Thailand on the floor of the World Trade Organization for proposing restrictions on toddler milk advertising. Officials then said the rules raised questions about whether they were “more trade restrictive than necessary.”

    I wonder who was President during that time.

    This year, however, the U.S. took a different approach. In a letter to Thai authorities, officials said the U.S. “supports Thailand’s objective to prevent deceptive marketing practices thereby protecting the health and wellbeing of both infants and young children.”

    I wonder who the President was this year. I wanna say Biden.
