However, Indonesia's export performance to the US is now threatened, as US President Donald Trump will impose high tariffs on Indonesian products entering his country.
This was stated by Trump in a letter addressed to President Prabowo Subianto, which was uploaded to his Truth Social account on Tuesday (July 8, 2025).
"Starting on August 1, 2025, we will charge Indonesia a tariff of only 32% on any and all Indonesian products sent into the United States, separate from all sectoral tariffs," Trump said in his letter.
In response, the Indonesian government is again negotiating to lower the tariffs.
"We will continue to strive to finalize these negotiations based on the principle of mutual benefit," said Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto, as reported by Katadata.co.id, Thursday (July 10, 2025).
