Thai, Cambodian leaders set for peace talks at 3pm
Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet are scheduled to meet in Kuala Lumpur at 3pm local time (2pm Thailand time). The meeting will be at the office of Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who is the chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
The first talks since clashes began on July 24 comes within 48 hours of US President Donald Trump saying Thai and Cambodian leaders had agreed to 'quickly work out a ceasefire.'
After separate calls with Mr Phumtham and Hun Manet on Saturday, Trump had threatened that Washington will not do a trade deal with either country as long as the fighting continued.
The conflict, which escalated from months of simmering border tension, has killed more than 30 people and displaced over 150,000 civilians on both sides. Thailand has reported 22 fatalities, including eight soldiers, while Cambodia has confirmed 13 deaths, including five military personnel

Key Thai sectors still protected under US tariff pact
Thailand's pledge of near-total market access for US goods includes key limits to protect some domestic industries, according to a government official, laying out the terms the country sought for its tariff deal with Washington. The restrictions — specifically on pork and corn — will be hammered out in final negotiations with the US, said Pongsarun Assawachaisophon, who was involved in the talks and serves as deputy secretary-general to the prime minister. The US tariffs are expected to shave off as much as 1.5 percentage points off Thailand's economic growth next year. The deal is designed to fulfill President Donald Trump's demand to erase Thailand's $45-billion trade surplus while still keeping trade open to the country's biggest export market. The US president announced a 19% tariff on Thailand last week, down from an 36% threatened earlier, following several rounds of negotiations and offers from Thailand, including eliminating import levies on more than 90% of US goods. 'Among more than 10,000 US items that will get a zero tariff, some will be subject to tariff staging, import quotas or other conditions,' Mr Pongsarun said in an interview with Bloomberg News on Monday. 'Thailand got a really good deal because we didn't act carelessly. We explained our reasons and didn't just stubbornly keep everything shut.' Trump has touted his tariff threats for pushing countries to buy more US goods and claimed, as in the case of Indonesia, that markets are 'completely open' to American goods. But many countries in Southeast Asia have sought carve-outs or protections for agricultural sectors, with farmers forming a key political constituency. Jakarta, for instance, wants to buffer its poultry and corn industries while Vietnam's seafood sector is seeking support. For US pork, Bangkok will gradually reduce tariffs and limit American imports to less than 1% of domestic consumption. It must also be free of the additive ractopamine, which is used to promote the development of lean muscle mass and banned in Thailand. The initial limitations are to allow the US to 'test the market' while giving Thai pork producers — notably Charoen Pokphand Foods (CPF) and Betagro Pcl — and smaller pig farmers time to adjust, Mr Pongsarun said. Pork market access has long been a contentious issue for the US, and the reason why Washington revoked some trade preferences for Bangkok in 2020. As for corn, Thailand will require local feed mills to absorb all home grown corn first, at set prices, before being granted quotas to import US supplies, said Pongsarun. The Thai Feed Mill Association, which has been consulted on the matter, has said the country is able to buy as much $2.8 billion worth of US corn annually, as well as soybean meal and dried distillers' grains. 'Made in Thailand' A separate concern for Thailand is Trump's 40% additional tariff on so-called transshipped goods, a way for Washington to block Chinese manufacturers from evading higher US tariffs. About one-third of Thailand's current exports to the US would fall under this category, Mr Pongsarun said, ranging from car tyres to electrical appliances and toys that were made by Chinese factories in Thailand. Government regulations deem goods with at least 40% of local content to be 'Made in Thailand', but Mr Pongsarun said officials expect the US might require a much higher threshold, possibly up to 80%. Those details have yet to be announced by Washington. Since April, Thailand has been rewriting rules covering the issuance of certificates of origin, with the help of the US Customs and Border Protection, and has ramped up inspection and factory visits for 65 types of goods, worth about $15 billion, that Washington had flagged as being potentially mislabelled as Thai-made. Going forward, product certification will also only be granted by the Department of Foreign Trade, instead of the Federation of Thai Industries or the Thai Chamber of Commerce, a move that allows the government greater oversight. 'It's what we need to do anyway,' Mr Pongsarun said. 'The US deal is a wake-up call that nudges us to expedite the process to reform this system.'

Cabinet approves compensation for border clash victims
The cabinet has approved compensation of 10 million baht for the families of each soldier and government official killed in last month's border conflict with Cambodia, and 8 million baht for each civilian victim's family, according to acting prime minister Phumtham Wechayachai. Mr Phumtham announced the decision during a media briefing on key government resolutions under the theme 'Overcoming Two Crises, Moving Forward Together', on Tuesday afternoon. The announcement addressed recent national challenges affecting Thailand's security and economic stability: escalating violence along the Thai-Cambodian border since February, and trade tensions with the United States. Mr Phumtham expressed deep condolences to all families affected by the border conflict, acknowledging that no monetary value can truly compensate for the loss of life. A total of 15 soldiers and 17 civilians lost their lives as a result of the clashes between July 24 and 28, according to figures from the Royal Thai Armed Forces. The conflict, which stemmed from what Thailand described as repeated provocations and disinformation campaigns by Cambodia, has now de-escalated. Talks are currently under way in Kuala Lumpur between the two nations under the framework of the General Border Committee (GBC). The main event will take place on Thursday, with the defence ministers of Thailand and Cambodia participating, and observers from China, the United States and Malaysia also attending. To counter the spread of fake news, especially on social media, Thailand's cabinet approved the establishment of a special committee tasked with monitoring, verifying and analysing online content, Mr Phumtham said. The move aims to prevent misinformation from undermining national security and public safety, he added. Discussing economic challenges, specifically the imposition of a 19% trade tariff by the United States, he said the government had handled the matter with prudence, prioritising national interests. Despite the tariff, Thailand remains competitive on the global stage, and the situation presents new opportunities for economic expansion, said Mr Phumtham. Recognising the need for economic adaptation, the government has introduced financial support, including soft loans, debt moratoriums and budget allocations to assist both large and small enterprises. Special emphasis will be placed on strengthening the agricultural sector to ensure resilience amid global economic shifts. Concluding his remarks, Mr Phumtham urged Thais to unite in facing future challenges. 'It is time for us to join hands, look ahead, and build a peaceful, prosperous Thailand for all,' he said.

Thailand taking legal action against Cambodia for damage caused by attacks
Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai has ordered officials to press criminal and civil lawsuits locally and internationally against Cambodia for the damage caused by its attacks on Thailand. Government spokesman Jirayu Houngsub said Mr Phumtham tabled the order at the cabinet meeting at Government House on Tuesday. He wanted local and international legal action against Cambodia for its use of soldiers and weaponry to attack Thailand. The attacks caused damage to property and the lives of Thai citizens and the military, and civil service organisations, Mr Jirayu said. According to the government spokesman, legal action will be taken in accordance with local and international criminal and civil laws and other relevant laws. The Office of the National Security Council will take the lead in the legal action and affected organisations will also participate - including the army, the Interior Ministry and the Public Health Ministry. The secretary-general of the Council of State, the government's legal adviser, will give relevant advice to speed up the process. The legal action was aimed at capturing and punishing wrongdoers and demanding those responsible for the Cambodian attacks pay damages. Officials would also inform affected people of their right to sue those behind the Cambodian attacks, Mr Jirayu said.
