US Sees Indonesia Backtrack Imperiling Trade Pact, FT Says

US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer is set to speak with a top Indonesian official this week in hopes of salvaging a trade framework at risk of collapsing, the Financial Times reported Tuesday.

Greer is planning to talk with Airlangga Hartarto, the Indonesian coordinating minister for Economic Affairs, in an effort to revive a deal struck in July that would see US tariffs on Indonesian goods reduced from a threatened 32% to 19% in exchange for a series of concessions.
