Thailand to increase energy, aircraft, and farm imports from US - Thai PM

13 Sept 14:22 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand will significantly increase imports of energy, aircraft, and farm produce from the US, directly responding to the Trump administration's new 36% tariffs on Thai exports.
The Thai government plans to promote increased Thai investment in the US, ease restrictions on US imports, and curb the re-export of foreign-manufactured goods through Thailand to the US.
Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra aims to convey Thailand's status as a reliable US ally and economic partner, not solely an exporting nation, seeking mutually beneficial trade negotiations.
A delegation led by the Finance Minister will engage in official talks with US government and private sector representatives, while the government prepares support measures for Thai businesses impacted by the tariff hikes.
