Malaysia Becomes First Country To Declare US Trade Deal 'Null And Void' After Supreme Court Tariff Ruling

Malaysia has declared the trade deal with the U.S. invalid after the Supreme Court ruled President Donald Trump‘s tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) illegal in February.

White House did not immediately respond to Benzinga‘s request for comments.
