Malaysia trade minister: We’re open to negotiate with the US on reducing trade deficit

• Open to negotiate on non-tariff barriers, explore bilateral trade agreement, strengthen tech safeguards and security
• Will explore alternative ways to address US concerns
• Will ensure mutually beneficial trade flows between Malaysia and US continue

These are fairly boilerplate comments but highlight a willingness to negotiate, which is true of most countries.
