Indonesia’s “Trade Deal” with Trump: Business or Bullying? | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G Donald Trump’s latest trade deal with Indonesia slashes threatened tariffs but imposes steep costs on Jakarta. The agreement keeps a 19% U.S. tariff on Indonesian goods — nearly four times last year’s rate — while granting American exports free access to Indonesia. Jakarta also pledged billions in purchases of U.S. oil, agriculture, and Boeing jets. Indonesia’s President Prabowo accepted the deal to avoid harsher penalties but admitted it was tough. Critics say the agreement showcases Trump’s coercive approach: threaten extreme tariffs, then demand one-sided concessions. The deal raises questions about whether this is negotiation — or economic pressure disguised as diplomacy. --- Donald Trump | USA | Indonesia | Prabowo Subianto | Trade Deal | Trump Tariffs | Trade War | Firstpost | World News | News Live | Vantage | Palki Sharma | News #donaldtrump #indonesia #tradedeal #usa #tradewar #trumptariffs #prabowosubianto #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost #palkisharma #worldnews Vantage is a ground-breaking news, opinions, and current affairs show from Firstpost.
