Former Deputy Minister Voravongse questions contradictory government statements on US tariff negotiations. While officials claimed a deal reducing tariffs from 36% to 19%, Thailand faces a new 12.5% tariff under Section 301. Voravongse demands clarity on whether these are different measures or the same, criticizing lack of transparency on what Thailand gained, what the US gained, and the potential impact on trade and current account balances. He also emphasizes the need to address Transshipment concerns with the US.
