KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is closely monitoring recent legal and policy developments in the United States following a Supreme Court decision to strike down the administration’s global tariffs, says Datuk Seri Johari Ghani. He noted that, based on earlier US statements, Washington still has other legal avenues to impose trade measures, including unilateral tariffs. “Malaysia is also studying the scope and impact of a recently announced temporary 10% tariff by US President Donald Trump,” he said. Johari stressed that the United States remains one of Malaysia’s most important trading partners. In 2025, total bilateral trade reached about RM367bil, with Malaysian exports to the United States amounting to RM233bil.
