Thailand’s Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra convened a meeting on Thursday at Government House with representatives from the Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry, and Banking.

The meeting focused on the government's readiness to engage in trade negotiations with the United States, particularly regarding tariffs.

During the discussions, Paetongtarn expressed assurance to the industrial, commercial, and banking sectors that her administration had been preparing for potential trade talks with the US government since late last year.

This preparation aligns with Thailand’s ongoing efforts to strengthen economic ties and ensure favorable trading conditions.

The Joint Standing Committee, consisting of leaders from various economic sectors, expressed their perspectives on the potential impacts of negotiations on Thailand’s economy.

The Prime Minister's proactive approach signifies a commitment to addressing trade challenges and enhancing collaboration with one of Thailand's key trading partners.

Trade relations between Thailand and the United States are significant, with the US being one of Thailand's largest export markets.

As both nations navigate the complexities of international trade dynamics, the forthcoming negotiations are expected to play a crucial role in shaping the economic landscape for businesses in Thailand.
