Trump 2.0 Tariffs, Sanctions & Export Controls
2025-06-09 14:00 - 16:00
Join AMCHAM Malaysia and Nathan Bush, Head of DLA Piper’s International Trade & Competition on Monday, 9 June 2025, 2.00PM – 4.00PM at AMCHAM Executive Office, to explore concrete strategies for Malaysian companies to mitigate risks and seek opportunities amidst the upheaval.
The current Trump Administration’s trade policy poses grave challenges for many Malaysian industries.

The imposition of substantial 10% “universal tariffs” on almost all imports, imposition – and 90-day suspension – of higher 24% “reciprocal” tariffs on Malaysian imports have snarled supply chains and investment plans throughout Malaysia.
Malaysia’s semiconductor ecosystem and data centers are directly impacted by the expansion and revision of U.S. export controls targeting China’s chip and AI sectors, as well as the pending “national security” tariff investigation of the global semiconductor industry.
Malaysia has been targeted as a route for circumventing U.S. restrictions on imports of Chinese goods and exports to China of U.S. technology.
