Indonesia seeks a fair and equal trade relationship with the U.S. after the imposition of a 32% tariff, aiming for diplomacy and negotiations instead of retaliation. The country is considering increasing imports of U.S. goods and offering tax cuts in response to the tariffs.
Indonesia has expressed its desire for a fair and equal relationship with the United States, following the imposition of a 32% tariff rate by the Trump administration. President Prabowo Subianto, speaking during a rice harvesting event in West Java, stated that Indonesia would pursue diplomacy rather than retaliate, and would open negotiations with the U.S. to resolve the issue.
The tariffs, set to take effect on April 9, are part of a broader trade dispute that includes several Southeast Asian nations. In response, Indonesia plans to send a high-level delegation to the U.S., with ministers working on a proposal that includes increased imports of U.S. goods such as cotton, wheat, oil, and gas. The government is also considering tax cuts for U.S. products and reviewing local content rules for American tech firms.
Despite facing economic challenges, including a stock market slump and a weakened rupiah, Indonesia is aiming for a higher GDP growth target of 5.2% this year. The government hopes that its diplomatic approach will lead to a balanced and mutually beneficial trade relationship with the U.S.
