Malaysia PM says will build trade relations, not wait for U.S. tariffs

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Malaysia will actively build trade relations with other countries, such as China, Russia and Brazil, instead of waiting for the impact of potential U.S. trade tariffs, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Tuesday.

Anwar told parliament that waiting for U.S. tariffs would have a negative impact on Malaysia.
