Sun Chanthol, first vice chairman of the Council for the Development of Cambodia, said he would continue negotiating with the United States for lower tariffs on priority products such as garments and footwear, which he said were not made in the United States. “We will keep working to negotiate a rate below 19% for some of Cambodia’s priority products. These sectors have provided jobs for one million people, especially women, and are important to Cambodia,” he said.
Sun Chanthol made the remarks on the morning of August 1, 2025, at a press conference on the outcome of the Cambodia–U.S. reciprocal tariff talks.
