Trump Secures Indonesia Trade Deal Setting Tariff at 19%

BRUSSELS, JUL 16 – The agreement aims to boost trade and investment by reducing tariffs, with 80% of Indonesian exports to the EU enjoying zero tariffs, advancing strategic ties and sustainable development.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. has secured a trade deal with Indonesia following his direct discussions with their President.
  • This deal follows ongoing negotiations amid a planned 32% U.S. tariff on Indonesian goods that was postponed to finalize the agreement.
  • Indonesia signaled it would buy billions of dollars in American oil and LPG if U.S. tariffs on its goods are lowered, and state firm Pertamina may import U.S. oil products.
  • Trump mentioned that he communicated personally with Indonesia's highly regarded President and described the agreement as an excellent arrangement benefiting all parties involved.
  • This announcement marks the fourth time in recent months that Trump has declared a new trade deal, yet he did not share any specifics, and his unpredictable trade strategies have caused uncertainty among many businesses.
