KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 23 — Four Pakatan Harapan federal lawmakers today called on the federal government to suspend the Agreement of Reciprocal Trade with the US after a Supreme Court ruling deemed US President Donald Trump’s so-called Liberation Day tariffs to be unlawful.
Putrajaya signed a trade agreement it said was necessary to avoid Washington’s initial import levy rate of 25 per cent, but some critics argued that the deal was rushed.
“We recommend the government suspend all the ratification steps and processes of the ART in view of the US Supreme Court ruling that the tariffs were unlawful, thus the ART is also unlawful ab initio,” Subang MP Wong Chen said at a press conference in Parliament this noon.
