Tariffs, Trade & Trump : Malaysia’s Economic Crossroads

Donald Trump has unleashed uncertainty after uncertainty in the 80 days since taking office as President of the United States for a second term. The latest is his imposition of tariffs on practically all of America's trading partners on Earth. Professor Dr Ong Kian Ming, the pro-vice chancellor for External Engagement at Taylor's University, and Dr Afzanizam Rashid, Bank Muamalat's chief economist help us unpack the fallout for Malaysia, regional strategy, and how businesses can brace for even more uncertainty.
