KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is monitoring the implications of a recent US Supreme Court ruling that struck down tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump, with the Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry (MITI) now reviewing the matter. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said MITI is coordinating with both Washington and Asean partners to determine the next course of action. Following the ruling, Trump said he would impose a uniform 10% tariff on all imports under a separate legal authority, adding that the decision left him “more powerful”. Malaysia and the United States signed a reciprocal trade agreement during Trump’s visit to Kuala Lumpur last October for the Asean Summit. The deal maintained tariffs at 19%, with certain products eligible for zero tariffs under agreed partner-trade lists.
