BANGKOK: Thailand’s main opposition party called for an economic stimulus package to cope with the US tariff after Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra signalled that trade talks to secure relief from the levy have been stalled.

The stimulus measures should include soft loans to local exporters, subsidies for farmers and financial aid to Thai industries to deal with the 36% reciprocal levy threatened by the United States, said Sirikanya Tansakun, a lawmaker and deputy leader of the People’s Party.
