Thailand Urged to Set Up ‘War Room’ Amid US Tariff Shock

Thailand is being urged to form a “war room” in response to a new 36% US tariff on Thai imports announced by President Trump. Economist Dr. Santitarn Sathienthai warns the move could trigger global trade disruptions, harming Thailand’s economy. He predicts delayed Chinese investment and intensified market competition, as countries seek alternatives to the US. With uncertainty stalling business decisions worldwide, he stresses urgent coordination between public and private sectors to mitigate risks. The tariff shock, he argues, could have deeper and longer-lasting effects than initially expected.
