Trump annouces Indonesia trade deal that cuts tariffs, non-tariff barriers
Bernama WASHINGTON: United States (US) President Donald Trump announced Tuesday the finalisation of a "framework" trade agreement with Indonesia that he said will eliminate 99 per cent of the tariffs imposed on US exports to the island nation, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported. "It is agreed that Indonesia will be Open Market to American Industrial and Tech Products, and Agricultural Goods, by eliminating 99 per cent of their Tariff Barriers. "The United States of America will now sell American Made products to Indonesia at a Tariff Rate of ZERO, while Indonesia will pay 19 per cent on all of their products coming into the USA," Trump wrote on social media. "In addition, Indonesia will supply the United States with their precious Critical Minerals, as well as sign BIG Deals, worth Tens of Billions of Dollars, to purchase Boeing Aircraft, American Farm products, and American Energy. "This Deal is a HUGE WIN for our Automakers, Tech Companies, Workers, Farmers, Ranchers, and Manufacturers," Trump added. A senior Trump administration official earlier Tuesday described the agreement as a "framework" that they said "shows exactly how the President is resetting the terms of trade to ensure that we can reduce our deficit, both by regulating imports and also expanding exports." Besides eliminating nearly all tariffs on US exports to Indonesia, the agreement seeks to address "a range of non-tariff barriers" on agricultural and industrial US exports via exemptions on content requirements and licensing regimes, and other measures, the White House said in a statement. The official who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity said that some Indonesian exports would face trade duties above the 19 per cent rate established in the agreement. That includes goods that are shipped through Indonesia to US markets, or contain a lot of content from" third-party nations, which will face a 40 per cent tariff. Several of the agreement's provisions remain to be negotiated, however, including the removal of digital trade barriers and strengthening rules to ensure that the agreement's benefits can only be reaped by Indonesia and the US rather than third-party countries. The announcement comes just over a week before the US president's Aug 1 deadline for nations to strike new trade agreements with Washington or face heightened tariffs. The original July 9 deadline was pushed back by the White House to give negotiators more time. Peter Navarro, the US president's trade adviser, said in April shortly after Trump announced his tariff push that the administration would seek to conclude "90 deals in 90 days," but that goal has proved illusory. Prior to the Indonesia announcement, only two nations, the UK and Vietnam, concluded interim trade deals with Trump.

What is Anwar about to reveal? Malaysians told to ‘wait a little' for extraordinary news
KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has again teased an upcoming announcement described as an 'extraordinary appreciation' for the people of Malaysia. On his social media pages, Anwar posted a video of a campaign speech in which he makes an electoral pledge. 'I repeat: When we win the general election today, I will announce…' he says in the video, which is intentionally cut off at that point. This was followed by a song excerpt asking Malaysians to 'wait a little' for the announcement that is scheduled for 10.30am. Last week, Anwar shared a poster bearing the phrases 'Akan datang' (coming soon) and 'Suatu penghargaan luar biasa untuk rakyat Malaysia' (an extraordinary appreciation for the people of Malaysia). The poster also carried the slogan 'Bersama Malaysiaku' (with my Malaysia), which has been used in recent government communications. The lack of details has fuelled speculation that the message could relate to economic aid, new benefits, or a policy initiative ahead of National Day. There is also speculation that it could be related to the government's RON95 subsidy rationalisation.
