Malaysia has the right to terminate its Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART) with the United States (US) at any time through written notice without requiring the consent of the US, says the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC). In a statement, the AGC said that this is provided for under Article 7.5 of the ART, which also emphasises that all protections under the agreement are intended to defend and preserve Malaysia’s sovereignty and protect the country’s interests at all times. The statement clarifies that ART will only come into effect 60 days after both parties exchange written notifications confirming that their respective domestic legal procedures have been completed.
