President Trump threatens double-digit tariffs on various countries if trade agreements are not reached, impacting both significant and minor trading partners. Countries like Cambodia, which rely heavily on U.S. trade, could face severe economic consequences. Cambodia's exports to the U.S. total over $12 billion annually, primarily in apparel. The imposition of a 36% tariff could adversely affect the garment industry in Cambodia and impact thousands of women workers earning fair wages.
For a lot of them, the trade with the United States is not that significant.
We're the largest trading partner of theirs, and they ship us $12 billion-plus worth of stuff every year, most of it apparel.
A potential 36% tariff on exports from Cambodia could set back the country's garment industry.
They've been very successful over the years in not only building up an apparel industry in Cambodia but also building up one that pays appropriate wages and is not in the slave labor or exploitative category of some other countries.
