Too early to conclude on effects of Trump's policy on Malaysia - PM Najib

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak says it is too early to conclude on the effects of the policy of United States President elect, Donald J. Trump on the global economy, including Malaysia.

He said Trump might have realised that some of his statements or plans mentioned during the election campaign could not be realised because implementation would cause negative reaction from others.

"Trump is thinking about what he will do when he officially gets into office in January 2017," he said in the Question and Answer programme in conjunction with UMNO General Assembly 2016, here Monday.

Najib said despite the uncertain economy, the global community should not jump to conclusion on what would happen but wait until Trump starts his term as the president.

He said such political development is a normal democratic process which happens in many countries, not only in the United States, but also in Europe. -- Bernama
