U.S. Signs Landmark Trade Deal with Indonesia

$15 billion in U.S. energy, $4.5 billion ag products, 50 Boeing jets—plus a 19% tariff on Indonesian exports in exchange for U.S. market access.

For the first time, the United States will have full access to Indonesian markets, tariff-free. It comes after a trade agreement between officials there and President Donald Trump.

Pres. Trump says the landmark deal includes a promise from Indonesia to buy $15 billion in energy, $4.5 billion in U.S. ag exports, and 50 Boeing airliners.

In return, the United States will have full market access, but Indonesia will still be required to pay a 19% tariff on exports to the U.S.
