Filtering by entity: Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia | Clear Filter
Summary:The post displays a letter from the White House, dated July 7, 2025, to the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Hun Manet. The letter announces the imposition of a 36% tariff on all Cambodian products imported into the United States, effective August 1, 2025. This measure is attributed to a significant and persistent trade deficit with Cambodia, caused by Cambodia's tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers, which is deemed a major threat to the US economy and national security. The letter also states that companies building or manufacturing in the United States would be exempt from tariffs and warns of additional tariffs if Cambodia raises its own trade barriers.
Sentiment:Protectionist
Key Claims:
- The United States has a significant and persistent trade deficit with Cambodia.
- Cambodia's tariffs and non-tariff policies and trade barriers are responsible for the trade deficit, making the relationship unreciprocal.
- Effective August 1, 2025, the United States will implement a 36% tariff on all Cambodian products.
- Goods transshipped to avoid the tariff will incur a higher tariff rate.
- The 36% tariff is considered less than what is necessary to eliminate the trade deficit disparity.
- Cambodian companies establishing manufacturing or building facilities within the United States will not be subject to these tariffs.
- Any increase in Cambodia's tariffs will result in an equivalent increase added to the United States' 36% tariff.
- The trade deficit with Cambodia poses a major threat to the United States' economy and national security.
