BANGKOK (Reuters) -Thailand's trade talks with the United States are expected to be concluded before August 1, and U.S. tariffs on the country are not expected to be as high as 36%, its finance minister said on Tuesday.

A ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia appeared shaky but remained in place Tuesday as tensions lingered despite a truce agreement to end deadly border clashes following economic pressure from the U.

A fragile truce between Cambodia and Thailand held for a second day on Wednesday, despite mutual accusations of violations, and Cambodia took military attaches and diplomats to a border checkpoint destroyed by fighting to verify the ceasefire.

The truce, which was signed in Malaysia, was supposed to come into force at midnight, bringing an end to cross-border clashes that have killed at least 41 people and displaced thousands.View on eurone
