Thailand in Talks with US Over New Tariffs
File photo for reference only Thailand is set to negotiate tariff rates with the United States after President Trump announced a 36% tariff on Thai imports. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra reassured the public, stating the aim is to keep GDP growth on track, with a robust plan in place. "We are prepared to address this, and will send our permanent secretary to engage in talks," she said on Thursday. Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat noted that although the tariff was higher than expected, dialogue with the US could find a resolution. Thailand's significant trade surplus with the US, amounting to $45 billion in 2022, is a key factor in these negotiations. The US remains Thailand's top export market with electronics, machinery, and agricultural goods leading exports. The Thai Chamber of Commerce, led by Poj Aramwattananont, is urging quick negotiations, as the tariff exceeded their anticipated 25%. Despite being on the "Dirty 15" list of countries potentially most affected by these tariffs, Deputy Minister Julapun emphasizes understanding and flexible adjustments in talks with the US. InnovestX Securities warned that reciprocated tariffs could reduce Thailand's GDP by up to 1.2 percentage points from the projected 2.5% growth. The announcement also shook Southeast Asian markets, with currencies and stocks declining sharply. The Thai baht dropped 0.8% against the US dollar, whereas stock indices in Singapore and Malaysia fell significantly. ING Bank analysts described the region as the hardest hit by Trump's tariff policy. The US's increased tariffs include 46% on Vietnam’s exports and 32% on Indonesia’s, inflaming global trade tensions. Analysts and investors are now closely watching potential retaliatory moves from affected nations like China, which faces a hefty 54% tariff. While some countries rule out retaliation, the global trade environment remains tense, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-04-03 -

Trump Starts Global Tariff Wall, Thailand Hit with 36% Tax
The Donald is literally holding up a sign full of lies. The column labeled "Tariffs Charged To The US" including for example 72% for Thailand is complete lies. 72% is a trade imbalance, not tariff! Some idiots think this is one and the same thing. The reason why Thailand sends more stuff to the US than the US sends here is common market sense, something a Donald follower does not seem to possess. This is BS and DECEPTION at the highest level, as it doesn't get any higher than the White House. The trade imbalances described as "tariffs" by the White House in this context are based on goods only, not goods and services. This selective focus allows them to maximize the perceived deficit, justify higher tariffs, and target physical imports, but it also opens them up to accusations of cherry-picking data. If you’re looking at real-world trade, like a Thai person buying from Amazon, the situation is more complex—services (like Amazon’s cloud computing) and digital goods might not face tariffs at all, while physical goods could face the 7% import duty you mentioned, which is unrelated to the White House’s 72% figure.- 1
