Indonesia Says Prabowo, Trump to Ink Trade Deal in January

Indonesia said it has resolved all substantive issues in trade talks with the US and is on course to ink an agreement in late January, removing a major source of uncertainty for Southeast Asia’s biggest economy.

Both countries have aligned on the “crucial issues” in their draft agreement, protecting the mutual interests of both parties, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said in an online presentation on Tuesday, after meeting with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Washington on Monday.
