PHNOM PENH: As Cambodian garment workers took breaks from toiling in sweltering factories on Tuesday (July 8,) they feared for their jobs after US President Donald Trump's threat to impose a 36 per cent tariff.
"I beg the US to reduce the tariff for the sake of workers in Cambodia," 38-year-old Im Sothearin told AFP as she rested from her work in an underwear factory in the capital Phnom Penh.
