Bangkok: "Phumtham" reveals that the National Security Council has not yet proposed using the central budget to help refugee camps. Phumtham Vejjayachai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, in his capacity as acting Prime Minister, discussed the situation during a meeting of the National Security Committee. The meeting included relevant agencies to address the response plan following the United States' decision to cut the budget for refugees, which has impacted refugees on the Thai border. There may be a request to use the central budget for assistance; however, the NSC has yet to propose this and has not received the necessary details.
According to Thai News Agency, the plan for a long-term solution has not yet been proposed. The responsibility lies with the United States to establish such a plan, and they must consider the necessary steps. The Thai government has made preparations for potential scenarios, but further discussions will only occur when the appropriate time comes.
