JAKARTA – The Indonesian government currently sees no need to send another delegation to the United States for the negotiations on tariffs as it believes it has made its case for open bilateral trade and says the ball is now in the US’ court.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto, who helmed an Indonesian delegation dispatched to Washington in April, said in a press conference on June 13 that the documents submitted to his US counterparts were “already relatively comprehensive” and that what was left was “the (US) decision”.
