Oh come on..enough with such fake news already. It is comprehensible that it is elections, but there is no need to provide hideous & unverified news source to promote one's political party.
While PrezTrump may or may not had heard of Minister of Trade Mr Gan, it IS his team whom reports to him for results on trade talks, small or big nations, & they would had certainly heard of Minister Gan.
Futhermore, trade talks with USA did not start just yesterday. It started LONG even before the inauguration of PrezTrump, as our govt is often a few more steps ahead of others.
It may had even be Minister Gan's efforts in such tough trade talks that resulted in a mere 10% tariff on Singapore, more so after huge quantities of Nvidia chips had been exported from Singapore to another country, thru DILIGENCE & OPEN investigations by MTI. US Tariffs would had been more as evident on other ASEAN nations that had been negligent in trade practices.....
any gratitude for those whom are making huge efforts to save lives while other political wannabes are just blowing hot air to convince voters to help them earn a $15,000/mth salary, knowing that they are incapable of forming any govt or make any substantive changes in Parliament?
