The US set a 19% levy on imports from Thailand and Cambodia, lower than the 36% they originally faced, after President Donald Trump threatened to block trade deals with them unless they ended a deadly border clash.

Malaysia, which helped broker the ceasefire, was also set at 19%. That’s on par with previously announced rates for Southeast Asian neighbors Indonesia and the Philippines. The US is the largest export markets for both Cambodia and Thailand.
