Parliament holds urgent debate as US tariff takes effect

Quick Summary:

The parliament held an urgent debate on the fallout of the 36% US levy on Thailand's exports as lawmakers expressed concern about the long-term impact of the tariff on the trade-reliant nation's economy.

It now also faces the prospect of an increase in the influx of cheap products from China and other countries hit by steeper tariffs than Thailand.

The United States was Thailand's largest export market last year with electronics, machinery and agricultural products topping the list of goods.
