KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s trade with the United States (US) surged 15.4% to RM270.88bil from January to September this year, up from RM234.68bil in the same period last year, says Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz.
Given this substantial trade volume, the Investment, Trade, and Industry Minister stated that any modifications to US trade policy, especially the implementation of retaliatory tariffs against Malaysia, would have a direct impact on the nation’s economy and interests if not carefully managed.
