Indonesia is ready to pump $34 billion into U.S. energy and agriculture projects—plus a possible 75‑jet Garuda order—to head off steep tariffs.
Jakarta will sign a memorandum of understanding worth $34 billion next week to boost Indonesian purchases and investments in the United States, Chief Economic Minister Airlangga Hartarto said.
"This shows that government, regulators, state-owned enterprises and the private sector are together in responding to the imposition of U.S. reciprocal tariffs," Airlangga noted.

The accord will be signed on 7 July, demonstrating, he said, that government, state firms and private business "stand together" against U.S. duties.
