Navigating U.S. Tariffs: Malaysia’s Trade Strategy Unfolds

The tariff threatens Malaysia’s growth targets, prompting calls for strategic responses to safeguard trade, attract investment, and sustain global economic partnerships. Tan Sri Datuk Dr. Rebecca Fatima Sta Maria, Director of IDEAS unpacks the potential strategies and outcomes.
