Thailand says US tariff pause gives more time for response


BANGKOK: Thailand has prepared more economic stimulus focused on creating jobs, Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira (pic) said on Thursday (April 10), adding that a 90-day pause on US tariffs announced overnight would give officials more time to prepare a response.

US President Donald Trump said he would temporarily lower the hefty duties he had just imposed on dozens of countries, including a 36% tariff on Thai exports, while further ramping up pressure on China.
