Southeast Asian Nations Want to Discuss Tariffs with Trump as a Unified Bloc, Malaysia PM Says

On Monday, heads of state from Southeast Asia convened in Kuala Lumpur for the inaugural ASEAN summit following disruptions to global trade caused by U.S. Tariff measures.
The summit followed President Trump's April announcement of wide-ranging tariffs and a 90-day pause, prompting ASEAN to prepare a unified response.
ASEAN focused on pressing regional issues including increased pressure on Myanmar's junta, finalizing East Timor's membership, and new economic cooperation with China and Gulf states.
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim highlighted ASEAN's strong ability to withstand the challenges posed by a complicated and troubling global environment, and expressed interest in arranging a collective meeting with President Trump later this year.
ASEAN has established a group to manage its collective approach to the U.S. Tariff measures, plans to voice strong concerns about unilateral tariff actions, and intends to unveil a two-decade plan to enhance regional economic and social integration.
