Prime Minister Expresses Concerns Over Oil, Stock Market, and Commodity Prices, Declines to Comment on Talks with U.S. Ambassador

Regarding the Eastern war issue, Prime Minister Anutin acknowledged concerns over all matters, including oil, the stock market, and commodity prices, hoping to minimize the impact so the public does not have to bear the burden. He declined to comment on what was discussed with the U.S. ambassador.


At 08:50 on 6 March 2026, at the Army Transport Department (Army Transport Command). Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, was interviewed about the meeting on oil measures held with relevant agencies on 5 March. He said he had assigned the Minister of Energy to provide clarification, and that the information is as stated.

Reporters asked if there was any particular area of concern. The Prime Minister said he is concerned about all areas and is trying to address everything, including the country's oil reserves, the stock market, and consumer goods prices. Efforts are underway to prevent any impact, but if it occurs, it should be minimal so the public will not have to bear the burden.

Regarding questions about the U.S. Ambassador to Thailand's visit on 4 March and what was discussed, the Prime Minister declined to answer, saying only matters related to oil.
