President Prabowo Subianto recently shared details of his successful negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump regarding trade tariffs. The discussions, described as tough yet fruitful, resulted in an agreement beneficial to both parties. The United States agreed to lower import tariffs on Indonesian goods from 32% to 19%, a significant reduction that was achieved through mutual understanding of each other’s national interests. Prabowo emphasized that the negotiations were carefully conducted, with a focus on safeguarding the interests of the public and domestic workers. He expressed confidence in Indonesia’s economic resilience amidst global uncertainties and announced plans for an upcoming visit to the United States, potentially including a meeting with President Trump later this year. Despite the seriousness of the negotiations, Prabowo added a light-hearted note, joking about the possibility of a friendly golf match with Trump during their meeting.
