Carol Rodley, the US ambassador to Cambodia, indicated that, due to worldwide economic problems, the US will no longer reduce import tariff on garments manufactured in the Cambodia.
She made this statement during her visit to the Meng Ieng garment factory, a model factory with good work ethic located in Russei Keo district, Phnom Penh city, in the afternoon of 28 January.
Through a translator, Mrs. Rodley said: “The quota system does not exist anymore, therefore, US orders have dropped significantly. The US also faces severe economic problems, therefore, the US is also facing the same challenges and it is trying to tame these economic difficulties.”
