Indonesia says to increase US imports, lower orders from other countries
Indonesia will increase imports of U.S. food and commodities and reduce orders from countries where the Southeast Asian nation currently buys the products, chief economic minister Airlangga Hartarto told reporters in Washington. Airlangga is in the United States as part of a delegation of senior officials to meet U.S. counterparts for talks on a 32% tariff on Indonesian exports, which has been paused for 90 days. Indonesia has proposed increasing its imports from the U.S. by as much as $19 billion, including around $10 billion of energy imports, to eliminate its trade surplus with Washington and avoid the tariffs threatened by the administration of President Donald Trump.
