U.S. to Impose 19% Tariff on Indonesian Goods in Lopsided Trade Deal
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.S. and Indonesia announced a new trade deal Wednesday that would
see Trump's threatened tariff of 32% reduced to 19%. The U.S. will not
pay any tariffs for its exports to Indonesia. Indonesia's President
Prabowo Subianto also said he'd agreed to purchase Boeing jets. Trump
told reporters Wednesday he will soon announce a blanket tariff for 150
other countries, saying the rate will be "probably 10 or 15%," adding,
"We haven't decided yet."
