00:00America is a very powerful nation.
00:03We can't just break off relation with such a powerful nation.
00:08Do you think that it would actually affect our economy as well,
00:14global economy or regional economy as well,
00:17not welcoming the American president?
00:20Well, Trump has raised the tariff on Malaysian exports.
00:27Obviously, this affects our market.
00:32We produce gloves, for example,
00:35and now the gloves are subjected to high tariffs.
00:40But of course, there are ways and means to overcome that,
00:47but it takes time.
00:49And the thing is that when there is high tariff,
00:56it is actually affecting the cost of living in America
01:02because everything that comes in is taxed.
01:06And if you use the imported goods,
01:11you have to pay a higher price.
01:13So that will affect America's people, American people,
01:18as well as the industries.
01:21Because we know that America imports a lot of components
01:27for their products from outside, particularly microchips.
01:32Do you think he should still come or do you think we should say no to Donald Trump?
01:43I think he should not come here because he actually backs the genocide in Gaza.
01:52That we cannot accept.
01:54When everybody else wanted a ceasefire,
01:58America under Donald Trump and even under the previous Biden,
02:05they vetoed the resolution.
02:10Multiple times.
02:12Should we actually even be interacting with those who are complicit with the genocide,
02:22countries that are supporting the genocide?
02:25We have no dealings with people who are involved with the genocide.
02:32Malaysia never recognized Israel.
02:37Of course, Malaysia has had dealings with the United States of America.
02:43America is a very powerful nation.
02:46We can't just break off relations with such a powerful nation.
02:52We have to find other ways of overcoming the problems caused by Trump
03:00to come with his idea.
