US President Donald Trump has directed the Secretary of Transportation to immediately approve the production of ultra-compact cars in the United States.

He made the announcement during a speech at the White House, which has since gone viral on social media.

In the video, Trump shared that his interest in these compact vehicles was sparked by his recent visit to Asia, including Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea.

Trump described the cars he saw during the visit as “very small and really cute,” and expressed surprise that such models are not allowed to be produced in the US.

If you go to Japan, South Korea, and Malaysia, they have cars that are very small… very small and really cute,” he said.

You’re not allowed to build those cars in the US, and I’ve given the Secretary [of Transportation] the approval to start producing them immediately.”

According to Trump, the compact cars he observed are much cheaper and provide a practical option for people to own new vehicles.

He added that while Japanese brands such as Honda have successfully developed compact models, similar vehicles are not widely available in the US due to restrictions.

I believe American companies will do very well with these cars,” he said. “We’re going to approve them.”

Trump’s remarks have caught the attention of many Malaysians, who were quick to associate his description with the iconic Perodua Myvi, a small and local car known for its convenience in city driving.

Who start driving small cars in US will high chance end up as roadkill kek

Perodua should sign a MoU with US for exchange program, we give them myvi, they give us Lincoln, Cadillac! hahaha

Or they just setup a manufacturing plant there! quick win!

Honda accord is considered as compact car in USA

Once they try it, they will curse it. USA or develop country different culture not like 3rd world mentality. They have higher ego than low level country that trump said. Then they sell much cheaper car compare to those country. You cam see Malaysia is one of the most expansive car in the world because of those geng songlap.

5 years from now trump will export compact Cadillac to Malaysia

Abis la pero2

We had Ford Fiesta and Ford Focus before. Unfortunately it was not selling very well as compared to other brands

huh?

not allowed to make small cars in us?

is this main cakap hantam or really cannot?

The question is...can muricans fit in them?

Trump didn't say anything about myvi. Anyway, cheap peroduas are the cause of traffic jams nowadays in the already limited malaysian highways nowadays, especially during school holidays. Plus many "puaks" modify them like crazy and driving like a-holes.

And what is it about certain Type Ms that fix the above-roof carrriages? Seems like a fashion for them...
