Indonesia will pay a 19% tariff on U.S. imports as part of a trade deal struck between it and the United States, according to President Donald Trump.
Trump told reporters as he was departing the White House for Pittsburgh on Tuesday that U.S. exports to Indonesia will not be tariffed under the deal, the fourth of his second administration.
“They are going to pay 19% and we are going to pay nothing,” he said. “I think it’s a good deal for both parties, but we will have full access into Indonesia.”
The news regarding the tariff rate comes after Trump announced the “great deal” on Truth Social that morning.
“Great deal, for everybody, just made with Indonesia,” Trump wrote, saying he “dealt directly” with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto to strike the deal.
Under Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs from April, Indonesia was poised to be tariffed at 32%, with the president doubling down on that rate last week in a letter extending the deadline for a trade deal to be made from July 8 to Aug. 1.
“Starting on August 1, 2025, we will charge Indonesia a Tariff of only 32% on any and all Indonesia products sent into the United States, separate from Sectoral Tarriffs,” Trump wrote. “Good transshipped to evade a higher Tariff will be subject to that higher Tariff.”
He added, “Please understand that these Tariffs are necessary to correct the many years of Indonesia’s Tariff, and Non Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers, causing these unsustainable Trade Deficits against the United States. This Deficit is a major threat to our Economy and, indeed, our National Security!”
The White House did not respond to the Washington Examiner‘s request for more details concerning the deal.
Trump similarly announced a trade deal between the U.S. and Vietnam on social media earlier this month under which Vietnamese imports would be tariffed at 20%. That would have been a decrease from Vietnam’s Liberation Day tariffs of 46%, though Vietnam has disputed that number, reportedly believing the duty was going to be 11%.
A trade deal with the United Kingdom was also vague when it was first announced in May, with more details becoming available in the subsequent weeks and months.
As part of that deal, British car manufacturers can import 100,000 vehicles into the U.S. under a 10% tariff, with no duties on the aerospace industry, including engines and other aircraft parts.
“For steel and aluminum articles and their derivatives, the Order provides that the Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with the U.S. Trade Representative, will establish tariff-rate quotas for UK products consistent with the General Terms of the Economic Prosperity Deal and pursuant to certain principles outlined in the Order,” the White House wrote last month of the deal.
In May, Trump additionally announced a framework for a trade deal with China, again with many details remaining unknown.

Under that deal, the U.S. agreed to reduce 145% tariffs on Chinese imports to 30% and China consented to a 10% export tariff for U.S. products, down from 135%.
China also permitted U.S. companies to purchase Chinese magnets and rare earth minerals in exchange for U.S. artificial intelligence microchips.
