U.S.-Indonesia Trade Deal Back on Track

Talks on a tariff and trade deal between Indonesia and the U.S. appeared close to breaking down earlier this month, but officials now say an agreement is back on track. Indonesia’s chief trade negotiator says both sides have resolved all major issues, clearing the way for a signing by the end of January. Trade between the two countries totaled $36.2 billion from January through October, with Indonesia running a $14.9 billion surplus, and the U.S. ranking as Indonesia’s second-largest export market.
