Nalinee: US blacklist not about visa
Play
Incoming PM's Office Minister Nalinee Taveesin has defended her records, saying the United States blacklist is about a ban on business transactions with American citizens and not travel restrictions.
“I still have a 10-year US visa,” she said, in an interview with the Thursday’s edition of Matichon online.
Nalinee conceded she has not travelled to the US since 2008 because she deems it unnecessary to make a trip.
She said the 2008 blacklist issued by the US Treasury Department was a business transaction ban and not about entering the country.
