Under the agreement, Indonesia will face 19 per cent tariffs, while the US will pay nothing.
American exports to Indonesia climbed by 3.7 per cent last year, totalling just under $61.4 billion.
'We have full access to Indonesia … we will pay no tariffs,' President Trump said.

Concerts, weddings and a famous fruit bowl: How shopping centres changed western Sydney
The occasion was so lavish, so monumental, so unabashedly American, that The Sydney Morning Herald published a 10-page special supplement to cover it. It was October 12, 1965, and western Sydney had just got its first major shopping centre: Roselands, a 'shopping-community centre' just south of Lakemba that was branded as a 'city-in-the-suburbs that has everything!' With a food court, a 'chandeliered hairdressing salon' and a revolutionary decked car park, the new Grace Bros development was the beginning of the west's love affair with gigantic malls. The glory of the new Roselands development soon led to the establishment of similar ventures, including Penrith Plaza, Westfield Parramatta, Bankstown Square and Stockland Merrylands. They brought much to suburbs that were rapidly growing and changing, and still are. Huge amounts of investment and property development took place in and around the centres. But the venues also brought something surprising: community and nostalgia. That strong connection to western Sydney's shopping centres is behind a public call-out from the under-construction Powerhouse Parramatta. The museum is asking the public to share photos, memorabilia and personal stories that 'capture the social and cultural spirit' of western Sydney's shopping malls from the 1970s to the early 2000s. The development of mega shopping centres across western Sydney has mirrored the story of transformation across the region, too. 'When they were introduced, they were marketed as bringing modernity and development to the western suburbs,' said Associate Professor Matthew Bailey, head of history and archaeology at Macquarie University, who has written a book about the history of shopping centres in Australia and is working with the museum on the exhibit.

Trump taunts Murdoch as he files $15 billion lawsuit over Epstein story
Washington: US President Donald Trump has filed a defamation lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch and The Wall Street Journal, making good on his threat to sue over a story reporting that he signed a letter to Jeffrey Epstein for the disgraced financier's 50th birthday. The lawsuit was filed in a federal court in Miami less than 24 hours after the story was published last week. The filing – which names Murdoch, News Corp, chief executive Robert Thomson and the two reporters as defendants – says Trump is seeking $US10 billion ($15.3 billion) in damages, punitive damages, court costs and other relief. 'This historic legal action is being brought against the so-called authors of this defamation, the now fully disgraced WSJ, as well as its corporate owners and affiliates, with Rupert Murdoch and Robert Thomson (whatever his role is!) at the top of the list,' Trump posted on Truth Social. The Australian-born Thomson is the long-serving chief executive of News Corp, based in New York. He was previously the editor-in-chief of Dow Jones, the News Corp subsidiary that publishes the Journal, and once worked at The Sydney Morning Herald, among other papers. On Thursday (Friday AEST), the Journal reported Trump was among several Epstein associates who contributed a letter to a leather-bound book for the financier's 50th birthday in 2003, organised by Epstein's friend Ghislaine Maxwell. The letter, which took the form of a cryptic, imagined conversation between the two men, was reportedly typed within a drawing of a naked woman, with two small arcs depicting her breasts. The exchange concluded: 'Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret.' Loading Trump denied writing the letter and claimed to have never drawn a picture in his life, though evidence quickly emerged disproving that claim. The Journal reported that Trump's signature appeared below the woman's waist, 'mimicking pubic hair'. The complaint filed in court alleged the defendants failed to attach the letter and drawing, failed to prove that Trump authored or signed such a letter, and failed to explain how the purported letter was obtained. In its story, the Journal did not claim to possess the documents, but said it had 'reviewed' the letter.
