US President Donald Trump has threatened the authorities of Thailand and Cambodia with imposing new customs duties on their products if military operations between the two countries do not cease.
Modern.az reports that the American leader stated this in an interview with "The Wall Street Journal".
"Just now, 10 minutes ago, I used tariffs to resolve the new escalation between Thailand and Cambodia. I said: "If you fight, I will not only cancel our trade agreement, but I will also impose tariffs on your countries"," Trump explained.
The US President stated his conviction that the possibility of imposing tariffs is an important foreign policy tool for his administration. Trump emphasized that if the US Supreme Court deems some of the tariffs he imposed illegal, it would be "terrible" for the American side.
Nevertheless, the American leader assured that even in this case, he would find a legal basis for subsequent tariffs.
