The United States finalized groundbreaking Reciprocal Trade Agreements with Malaysia and Cambodia, alongside trade frameworks with Thailand and Vietnam. The U.S.-Thailand Framework includes the removal of nearly all tariffs on American goods, a 19% U.S. tariff ceiling, and cooperation on critical minerals — all aimed at securing supply chains and regional stability. These deals coincide with a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia, signaling Washington’s growing influence in Southeast Asia through trade diplomacy.
