US-Malaysia Reciprocal Trade Agreement Declared Void

Malaysia’s Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART) with the United States is now considered void following a ruling by the US Supreme Court against tariffs introduced during former President Donald Trump’s administration. 

Trade Developments Could Affect Bilateral Economic Relations

Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Aziz said the decision effectively nullifies the earlier agreement framework between the two countries.

Officials said Malaysia will review the implications of the ruling and assess possible next steps for bilateral trade cooperation with the United States.
