Malaysia calls for collective Asean tariff response - theold - 07-04-2025
In a separate post, Anwar said he had a call with Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on a collective response by the region. The Malaysian leader also discussed the tariffs with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, who flew in on Sunday evening, Anwar said in another Facebook post.
Countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations — a collective grouping of 10 countries in the region — are among those hardest hit by US tariffs. Vietnam and Cambodia were slapped with 46% and 49% tariff rates, respectively, by the Trump administration, while Malaysia received a 24% rate.
Bank Negara Malaysia Governor Abdul Rasheed Ghaffour said the nation still has room to negotiate with the US on tariffs and the central bank can only assess the full impact on inflation after the talks, Malaysian state news agency Bernama reported late Sunday.
