KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Malaysia has reached out to U.S. counterparts seeking clarity on the latest plan to impose steep tariffs on U.S. imports of semiconductors and could risk losing a key market if its products become less competitive, its trade minister said on Thursday.
Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz told parliament that Malaysia, a key chipmaker, was advocating for its exporters to ensure that any changes to policy or exemption criteria can be negotiated earlier.
