Anwar meets Rubio, asks US to reconsider tariffs and act on Gaza crisis
by AUFA MARDHIAH MALAYSIA is urging the US to review its proposed tariff decision, highlighting the country's role as a key trading partner. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he raised both issues during a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who acknowledged there is still a month to finalise the tariff policy and assured to consider Malaysia's views. 'He knows Malaysia is one of the main trading nations with the US in this region and said he would take our views into account,' Anwar told reporters after the ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday. Anwar also pressed for an end to the violence in Gaza, calling it a massacre that must be stopped. He said Rubio seemed confident a ceasefire could be reached soon to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza and Palestine. He added that instability in other regions, including foreign invasions, could still affect Malaysia and ASEAN as a whole. On broader ties, Anwar said the US remains committed to working closely with Malaysia and ASEAN. 'They understand our position of wanting good relations and trade with all nations. This is important because many believe we must choose sides — but we don't,' he said. He explained that Malaysia will continue to maintain good relations and trade with all countries — including China and other ASEAN members — to safeguard national interest. 'While the US is an important trading partner, we will also strengthen our ties with China, ASEAN countries, and others to safeguard the people's interests and bring benefits to the nation,' he added.
