Economy US Mum on Thailand’s Bid to Slash Import Tariffs to Zero
Picture courtesy of Amarin TV Thailand awaits the US's silence on a bold proposal to slash import duties on thousands of American goods to zero. Deputy Prime Minister Pichai Chunhavajira revealed that the proposal, made on July 17, aimed to avoid a hefty 36% tariff on Thai exports. Unlike Vietnam and Indonesia, which settled at 20% and 19% tariffs, Thailand’s hopes for acceptance are uncertain. Pichai highlighted the potential impact on domestic businesses, cautioning that granting zero tariffs to the US could lead to demands from other nations. He stressed that any deal must ensure mutual benefits, particularly safeguarding vulnerable sectors like agriculture. Despite attempts, an official response from the US remains elusive. Meanwhile, the European Union is devising stronger counter-strategies against the US amidst dimming prospects for a trade agreement. Following US President Donald Trump’s threat of a 30% tariff starting August 1, EU officials, including Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic, have been exploring options to retaliate if needed. EU countries, with Germany leading the charge, are leaning towards "anti-coercion" measures, potentially affecting US access to public tenders or services. The European Commission's plans hinge on a qualified majority to activate such strategies, previously envisioned for pressure from China but now considered for the US. With the looming August 6 deadline, the EU faces critical decisions on activating suspended tariffs and whether to use its “anti-coercion” instrument (ACI). French support for the ACI contrasts with hesitance elsewhere, as President Trump warns of retaliation against any actions taken. The EU’s strategic response may involve limits on US investment, intellectual property rights, and the sale of US goods in Europe. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has suggested the ACI as a measure for exceptional circumstances, hinting that action remains on the horizon, reported Thai Newsroom. As tensions heighten, the global trade landscape awaits pivotal shifts with potential impacts spanning agriculture, automotive industries, and more. The US's silence places increasing pressure on Thailand and the EU to secure favourable outcomes amid a volatile trade environment. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai Newsroom 2025-07-22 -

US Pushes Forward with Private Aid Plan for Gaza Amid UN Opposition
The head of a UN office in the Gaza Strip has described an aid distribution scheme run by a rival organization as a "sadistic death trap." Philippe Lazzarini is the head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), which was criticized by Israel for allegedly employing members from the Hamas Islamist movement which attacked southern Israel in October 2023. An Israeli and UN-backed rival aid group called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has been operating in the coastal strip in recent times, but there have been widespread Palestinian media reports of Israeli attacks on those waiting in line for help.

Pope speaks against forced mass displacement of Gaza civilians
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) -Pope Leo, whose role in advocating for peace in Gaza has become notably stark since Israel struck the territory's only Catholic church last week, told Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday that he opposed any forced displacement of Palestinians. The Vatican said Abbas, who leads the internationally recognised Palestinian Authority, had phoned the pope on Monday, three days after Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called and expressed regret over the strike on Gaza's Holy Family church. In Monday's conversation with Abbas, Leo condemned the "indiscriminate use of force" and any "forced mass displacement" of people in the Gaza Strip, the Vatican said.
