Anwar says the government is studying the short and medium-term impacts of the US midterm results on Malaysia, including reciprocal tariffs.

KUALA LUMPUR: The government is examining the short and medium-term impacts across various aspects following political developments in the United States (US), where the Republican Party suffered a defeat in the midterm elections on Tuesday.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the matter was discussed in depth during today’s Cabinet meeting and Malaysia will continue to monitor the situation, including potential implications regarding the implementation of reciprocal tariffs.

“…however, our relations with the current administration, the existing government, as well as both incumbent and newly elected members of Congress including the House of Representatives will continue,” he told reporters after performing Friday prayers at Taman Kosas Mosque, near here, today.
