Dasco DPR leadership invites national interest in the Trump of Trump tariffs

Jakarta – Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Sufmi Dasco Ahmad responded to the new tariff policy of the US (US) announced by US President Donald Trump. Dasco emphasizes the importance of the Indonesian government to carry out good diplomacy to succeed Trump’s policy. “In response to the application of US rates to Indonesia, the US is a major trading partner for Indonesia. We need to carry out good trade diplomacy,” Dasco told reporters on Thursday (3/4/2025). Dasco warned that Indonesia would not be a market for exports for other countries that could not market their products to the US. He also reminded the downstream programs in the Government of President Prabowo Subianto not to fail due to foreign policy.

It is very dangerous for Indonesian industrial products and can hamper our downstream process,” he said. “We must guard with this national interest between the government, the private sector, executive, legislative and law enforcement,” he concluded. This is known, Trump has announced a new 10% rate on almost all imported goods entering the US. In addition, Trump applies a ‘reciprocal rate’ to a number of countries, including Indonesia. “That’s the statement of our economic independence,” Trump said as he announced these new steps. The president said the US would use the money generated from rates to “reduce taxes and pay our national debt.” Indonesia appears on the tariff list. It was said that Indonesia applied a 64% rate to goods from the US. The US will then charge a tariff of 32% of Indonesian goods sold in the US.
