Indonesia’s Prabowo hails ‘new era’ in US ties after Trump trade deal

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has welcomed a new trade agreement with US President Donald Trump, calling it the beginning of a “new era of mutual benefit.”

The deal, announced after a phone call between the leaders, reduces US tariffs on Indonesian goods from 32 percent to 19 percent. In return, Indonesia will purchase US energy, agricultural products, and Boeing aircraft, Al Jazeera reported.

Trump hailed the agreement as fair and beneficial for both countries, saying US exporters will face no tariffs. Prabowo’s office described the outcome as a major step forward in bilateral relations, with further details expected soon.
