Thailand plans to release a joint statement regarding the US tariffs this week, according to a source from the Ministry of Commerce.

Chantawit Tantasith, deputy commerce minister, said the tariff negotiations are ongoing, and Thailand needs to address critical issues such as rules of origin and regional value content to ensure Thai businesses can fully benefit and adapt without facing significant impacts.

“The ministry is dedicated to revising regulations to align with US standards while supporting Thai entrepreneurs in their adaptation efforts. We are focused on diversifying our markets to create further export opportunities, while keeping our primary markets like the US,” said Mr Chantawit.
