Group 1 - Cambodia has signed a tariff agreement with the United States, becoming the second Southeast Asian country to do so after Vietnam [1][3] - In 2024, Cambodia's total exports to the U.S. are projected to be $26.2 billion, accounting for 40% of Cambodia's total exports, while imports from the U.S. are only $321.6 million, resulting in a trade surplus of $25.9 billion [3][5] - The U.S. had proposed a 49% tariff on Cambodian goods earlier this year, which was the highest among the tariffs announced, but this was delayed for 90 days to allow negotiations with 75 countries [5][7] Group 2 - The tariff agreement is expected to impose tariffs higher than 20% on Cambodian goods, while Cambodia will apply zero tariffs on U.S. goods, indicating a significant imbalance in trade relations [7][9] - Cambodia's exports to the U.S. have already begun to feel the impact, with U.S. exports to Cambodia amounting to $100 million compared to Cambodia's $3.2 billion exports to the U.S. in the first four months of 2025 [7][9] - The signing of this agreement reflects Cambodia's limited negotiating power and the necessity to comply with U.S. demands to maintain access to the American market [7][11] Group 3 - The agreement between Cambodia and the U.S. is part of a broader strategy by the U.S. to engage Southeast Asian countries, potentially leading to more countries in the region signing similar agreements [11] - The U.S. agreements with Southeast Asian nations are seen as a way to counter China's influence, as these agreements may restrict transshipment trade involving Chinese goods [11]
