Prabowo Confirms US to Impose 19% Tariff on Indonesian Goods (2)

Indonesia’s president said he struck a 19% tariff deal with US President Donald Trump, the first confirmation of the key agreement detail after months of talks between the countries.

President Prabowo Subianto, speaking to reporters on Wednesday, said he had reached the deal following direct talks with Trump and that Indonesia would still continue to negotiate for a better trade relationship.

“We understand their interests, and they understand ours,” Prabowo said, adding he may visit the US in September or October and that Trump is “quite a tough negotiator.”
