Trump slaps 19% duties on Indonesia

WASHINGTON/BRUSSELS — US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the US would impose a 19 percent tariff on goods from Indonesia under a new agreement, which the Southeast Asian country said on Wednesday was reached after "extraordinary struggle".

The accord came as the European Union readied retaliatory measures should talks with Washington fail.

Trump said a deal had been struck after he spoke to Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto.
