Putrajaya examining impact of US midterm polls on Malaysia, says Anwar
The prime minister says the government will monitor the situation and consider its potential implications, including those involving reciprocal tariffs.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim addressed the Cabinet regarding the impact of the US midterm elections on Malaysia, following the Republican Party's losses in the polls. The discussion took place during the Cabinet meeting today, with Putrajaya committed to monitoring the situation and its potential implications, including reciprocal tariffs.
Anwar expressed his welcome for the shift in US politics, attributing it to the electorate's rejection of politics based on racial and religious hatred, including anti-Islamic sentiment and hostility towards minorities. He considered this a positive sign, hoping it would help ease international tensions.
