Thailand's government is racing to finalize US trade negotiations before Washington announces investigation results that could impose additional tariffs. Deputy PM Suphajee Suthumpun confirmed agreement on main principles within a 19% tariff framework and noted unresolved non-tariff issues requiring further talks. Thailand faces a 12.5% forced-labour tariff and initially faced 36% tariffs on Thai goods, seeking comparable terms to neighbouring countries' 10% rates to protect exporter competitiveness.
