Indonesia’s leader Joko Widodo will make a keenly awaited critical-minerals trade deal a top priority for his upcoming talks with US President Joe Biden, along with pushing ahead a landmark climate finance pact, highlighting the nation’s efforts to reap the economic benefits of a green transition.
“Indonesia is pushing for the critical minerals deal with the US to be signed soon,” Jokowi, as the president is known, said in an interview with Bloomberg’s Television Haslinda Amin on Tuesday. “If this is granted as we want, of course this is good for Indonesia’s products, which will be able to enter the very large US market.”
