Pundits upbeat on US tariff agreement

Quick Summary:

An international affairs academic and a leading economist are partially optimistic Thailand can reach an agreement with Washington over the latter's stiff reciprocal tariffs, though challenges remain as the levies have already affected the global trading system.

"Thailand can also make a grand gesture to reaffirm the bilateral alliance by switching from Gripens to F-16s jets for arms procurement, which may garner attention in Washington".

In Washington, Thailand is not viewed favourably because of its deportation of the Uyghurs and the arrest of American academic Paul Chambers," he said.
