LONDON (Reuters) -Brentford edged a young and much-changed Manchester United side 4-3 in a thrilling Premier League encounter on Sunday to give their hopes of qualifying for European competition for the first time a shot in the arm.
KUALA LUMPUR: All eyes will be on the Dewan Rakyat on Monday as Members of Parliament convene for a special sitting to discuss the United States' surprise imposition of retaliatory tariffs on Malaysian exports - a move that has sparked concern across government and industry.
The move is reportedly part of Washington's broader effort to recalibrate trade relationships and address longstanding trade deficits. Malaysia expressed openness to negotiations on four key areas: reducing the trade deficit, addressing non-tariff barriers, strengthening technological safeguards and security, and exploring a potential bilateral trade agreement.
On April 9, 2025, the US administration announced a 90-day postponement of the individualised reciprocal tariffs for most countries while maintaining the baseline tariff of 10% indefinitely. The May 5 special sitting, convened at the request of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, will serve as a key platform for ministers to brief Parliament on the government's response and outcomes of recent bilateral engagements.
