Trump speaks on Indonesia trade deal

US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he had struck a trade pact with Indonesia resulting in significant purchase commitments from the Southeast Asian country, following negotiations to avoid steeper tariffs.

Donald Trump, US President said "So we made a deal with Indonesia. I spoke to their really great president. Very popular, very strong, smart. And we made the deal. We have full access to Indonesia. Everything. As you know, Indonesia is very strong on copper. But we have full access to everything. We will pay no tariffs. So they are giving us access into Indonesia, which we never had. That's probably the biggest part of the deal. And the other part is they are going to pay 19 percent. And we are going to pay nothing."

As part of the Agreement, Indonesia has committed to purchasing $15 Billion Dollars in US Energy, $4.5 Billion Dollars in American Agricultural Products, and 50 Boeing Jets" Trump wrote on his Social platform.
