#TrumpTariffs

In a recent announcement, President Donald Trump revealed that Indonesia will be subjected to higher tariffs compared to Malaysia. Although both countries are on the list that will face new tariffs, Indonesia must contend with a tariff of 32%, while Malaysia faces a 25% tariff. This decision reflects Trump's firmness in addressing trade imbalances with partner countries, including Indonesia, which is considered to provide less reciprocity in trade relations.

With the higher tariffs, Indonesia becomes one of the countries significantly affected by this policy, which could impact the trade sector and the Indonesian economy broadly.
