“Thailand plans to issue a warning to the Trump administration about tariffs.” Bloomberg broke this news on the 11th, drawing the attention of many media such as Russia's TASS and Singapore's “Straits Times”. Bloomberg mentioned that the US has previously decided to impose tariffs on several economies, and Thailand is seeking to improve trade conditions with the US. Mutual trade negotiations between the two sides will resume later this month. According to the report, according to people familiar with the matter, Thailand plans to warn the Trump administration that the imposition of high tariffs by the US may force Thailand to reduce military cooperation, including the “Golden Cobra” exercise. According to the news, the Thai government plans to include this position in a proposal. Although the clause is broadly worded, if the tariff increase causes significant economic losses to Thailand, Thailand may reconsider whether to participate in joint military activities. Bloomberg said the proposal marks a “rare” attempt by Thailand — using its decades-long security partnership with Washington as a bargaining chip. A spokesman for the Thai Ministry of Defense stated in this regard that he was unable to verify or confirm the proposal, and “if any progress is made, the negotiations are more likely to focus on strengthening cooperation.” The report added that the Pentagon and Thailand's Ministry of Commerce have yet to respond to requests for comment.
