Malaysia has declared its reciprocal trade agreement with the United States “null and void” after a US Supreme Court ruling struck down tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), triggering a fresh rupture in bilateral trade ties.
Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani, Malaysia’s Investment, Trade and Industry Minister, said the US-Malaysia Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART) is no longer valid. “It is not on hold. It is no longer there, it’s null and void,” Johari told reporters, according to the New Straits Times.
The agreement, signed in October on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur, had covered about 12% of Malaysia’s exports to the US and was designed to ease market access for Malaysian goods while making US imports cheaper domestically.

隨美國法院判定川普關稅(Trump Tariff)無效後,CBP(美國海關及邊境保衛局)於2026/2/24起,正式停止徵收。美國先前與各國簽訂之ART(對等關稅協定)效力存疑。馬來西亞日前宣布其與美國簽訂之ART無效,是第1個因應美國判決的國家。TW目前並無重啟談判的跡象。
川普關稅被宣判違法;ART要繼續嗎?馬來西亞SAY NO!
