Anwar says Malaysia assessing impact of US midterm election results, including tariffs

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 6 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stated that Malaysia is assessing the short and medium-term impacts following the defeat of the Republican Party in the US midterm elections. During today's Cabinet meeting, the government discussed the potential implications of the results, which could include reciprocal tariffs.

Anwar expressed hope that the shift in the political landscape represents a rejection of politics based on racial and religious hatred, and hostility towards Islam and minority groups. This positive signal from the global stage could help ease international geopolitical tensions. The government will closely monitor the situation, taking into account the impact on Malaysia's relations with the US administration, as well as both incumbent and newly elected members of Congress.
