The Trump administration expects that Indonesia’s decision to bring down trade barriers will result in at least $50 billion in additional market access for US goods.

“Indonesia will be Open Market to American Industrial and Tech Products, and Agricultural Goods, by eliminating 99% of their Tariff Barriers,” President Donald Trump said in a social media post Tuesday as his administration shared more details on the agreement, which was first announced last week.
