Browse to continue with situations in the content situation between China and the United States, plus its impact on Indonesia also affected by the tariff increase, has become a serious concern for Sby. He immediately called his staff to relate something to it. “In the middle of the night I call my staff, Colonel Tumpal, let me write anything. I will not be separated in the form of a tweet because I know if someone who led this country, I have to be speech and careful to talk,” he said. Sby emphasized that every statement he made must be politically precise. That’s why he first wrote a statement to respond to the situation. “I will ensure that everything I convey the correct politics. And it is for my ethics. Seven items written about how Indonesia should respond to what was just delivered by President Donald Trump,” he said. A few days later, he heard the policy of the Indonesian government about it. According to him, the government’s attitude is similar to the one in his mind. “I am grateful, because what was explained by the Indonesian ministers, of course, included President Prabowo Subianto what I got from different sources. It can be said that it is 80 percent the same as I thought,” he said. “And if I can recommend it to the Indonesian government. I’m worried that Indonesia is too reactive, more emotional and less rational. If we realize who we are, how the world is, how the United States is,” he added.
