President Prabowo Subianto recently shared details of his direct talks with U.S. President Donald Trump regarding trade tariffs, highlighting the challenging yet successful negotiations. The discussions resulted in both countries demonstrating mutual understanding of each other’s national interests, leading to the United States agreeing to lower import tariffs on Indonesian goods from 32% to 19%. Prabowo emphasized the careful calculation and focus on protecting the interests of the public and domestic workers throughout the negotiation process. He also expressed optimism in Indonesia’s economic resilience amid global uncertainties and revealed plans for a potential visit to the U.S. later this year, jokingly mentioning the possibility of a round of golf with President Trump.
