On July 15, 2025, US President Donald Trump announced a major trade agreement with Indonesia via the Truth Social platform. In his statement, Trump claimed that he had finalized a significant deal with President Prabowo Subianto, whom he referred to as a “Highly Respected President”. This agreement, according to Trump, would “open up Indonesia’s ENTIRE MARKET to the United States for the first time in History,” providing full access for American ranchers, farmers, and fishermen to Indonesia’s market of over 280 million people without tariffs and non-tariff barriers.
As part of the announced agreement, Indonesia will purchase $15 billion worth of energy products from the US (approximately Rp243 trillion) and $4.5 billion worth of US agricultural products (approximately Rp72 trillion). Additionally, Indonesia committed to purchasing 50 Boeing aircraft, including many 777 types. Conversely, goods exported from Indonesia to the US will be subject to a 19% tariff, down from a previous threatened tariff of 32%. Trump also warned that additional tariffs would be imposed if transshipment or diversion of export routes from higher-tariff countries occurred through Indonesia.
