KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is optimistic it can reach a deal with the United States to lower tariffs ahead of the Aug 1 deadline for trade talks after President Donald Trump threatened to impose a steeper levy on the South-East Asian country, according to Investment, Trade and Industry minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz.
Talks have been challenging though discussions have been done “in a very respectful manner,” Tengku Zafrul said in an interview with Bloomberg TV’s Haslinda Amin.
