Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Supajee Suthampan unveiled four key strategies to address US tariff measures. The first is accelerating legislation to ban imports of goods produced with forced labor, with progress expected this August. The second is concluding the Agreement on Reciprocal Trade, or ART, as soon as possible. Thailand has requested the US to open technical-level negotiations, which if agreed could be wrapped up within one week. Thailand also reaffirmed its proposal to increase imports from the US under the Joint Statement framework, aiming to keep Thailand’s import tariff rate no higher than 19 percent. The third strategy is supporting Thai private sector investment in the US, which currently stands at approximately 19.3 billion US dollars, with additional investment plans of around 5.5 billion US dollars. The fourth is boosting imports from the US under the existing Joint Statement framework, alongside continued support for other areas of cooperation. Supajee also stressed that Thailand has red lines in the negotiations covering quality of life and the interests of entrepreneurs, farmers, and the public, but did not disclose details.
