The U.S. proposal to lease a Thai naval base has drawn attention.

The United States is intent on interfering in the chaos following Puea Thongtan's suspension and进驻 Thailand!

At 11:35 a.m. on July 14, Thai acting Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Phutthayotin confirmed during an interview at the government building that the United States has requested to lease the Lamphun Naval Base in Phang Nga Province, Thailand, but the specific details are currently unclear.

It is clear that the U.S. military hopes to take advantage of the current situation of the Thai-Cambodian border conflict and Puea Thongtan's suspension due to the phone recording incident involving Hun Sen to enter Thailand, thereby countering and exerting pressure on Thailand's important neighboring countries.

Phutthayotin stated that the key issue lies in the communication between the military, and the military institutions have not yet clarified this matter, but in the known naval plans, there is no intention to accept the deployment of the U.S. Navy.

When asked if this was related to U.S. trade negotiations, meaning whether the U.S. is using this as a key condition for trade negotiations, Phutthayotin said, "Each is a different story, anything is possible."
