Tokyo - Microsoft (NASD: MSFT) is looking to expanding its search partnership with Yahoo (NASD: YHOO) beyond the U.S., provided it is able to gain approval from antitrust regulators in other territories, CEO Steve Ballmer said on Thursday, Reuters reported.

"It's possible that we will extend that partnership (with Yahoo) outside the U.S.," Ballmer said at a news conference.

"We will have to wait and see if we can get approval and consummate that partnership inside the U.S. first."

The company's 10-year deal to provide search results to Yahoo in the U.S. is still being examined by U.S. and European regulators.
