Police, Protester Clash at APEC Summit as France’s Macron Urges End to U.S.-China Row

Thai riot police on Friday fired rubber bullets and tear gas to foil a protest rally against the country’s hosting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Bangkok.

Hundreds of protesters staged a rally and clashed with police forces about 10 kilometers from the venue of the summit where leaders of the member countries are meeting, a police official in charge of the event’s security task force, Ashyan Kraithong, was quoted as saying.
