Cambodia Engages in Critical US Tariff Negotiations Ahead of June Trade Talks

Cambodia has initiated urgent negotiations with US trade officials in Washington this week, seeking relief from the 49% tariff imposed on its goods by the previous administration. The first round of talks, led by Deputy Prime Minister SUN Chanthol and Commerce Minister Cham Nimul, concluded with limited progress. The punitive tariffs threaten Cambodia’s export-driven economy, putting jobs and growth at risk.

The Southeast Asian nation faces mounting pressure as these trade barriers begin to bite. With the next round of discussions slated for June, Cambodia’s ability to secure concessions could determine the trajectory of its economic recovery. The outcome may also signal broader shifts in US trade policy under the current administration.
