Summary:The United States communicates to Malaysia its intent to impose a 25% tariff on all Malaysian products imported into the U.S. starting August 1, 2025. This action is stated as necessary to address a significant and persistent trade deficit attributed to Malaysia's tariff and non-tariff policies, which the U.S. views as a major threat to its economy and national security. The U.S. also indicates that Malaysian companies can avoid these tariffs by manufacturing products within the United States, and warns that any new tariffs imposed by Malaysia will be added to the U.S.'s tariffs.
