There are immediate and real economic opportunities for both America and Malaysia – both countries are looking to rebalance trade and economic policies that create more jobs and prosperity for our peoples. In essence, both sides, by working together, can achieve “Malaysia First” and “America First.”The clear opportunity is for American exporters and investors. America is the engine of the world economy and needs export markets to continue its incredible growth and success. Malaysia is one of Asia’s fastest-growing consumer markets: We welcome American success stories, whether that be agricultural products or manufactured goods. Malaysia is a small country relative to the US — we have 650,000 small farmers compared to millions in the American heartland.
