The high import tariff policy planned by the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump, against several countries such as China, Canada, and Mexico has a significant impact on global trade. According to Indonesia's Deputy Minister of Trade (Wamendag), Dyah Roro Esti, this situation could be a great opportunity for Indonesia to expand its exports to the US market.
Indonesia's Opportunity Amid Trade Tensions
High import tariffs on China allow Indonesia to take on the role of an alternative supplier of products to the US market.
"Indonesia can see that this could be an opportunity too. For example, with tariffs applied to countries like China, Indonesia can be present to substitute,"
said the Deputy Minister of Trade in Jakarta, Tuesday (21/1).
Although the opportunity looks promising, the Indonesian government remains cautious in strategizing. Dyah added that the Ministry of Trade will continue to plan and monitor the development of the global situation to ensure that Indonesia can take advantage of opportunities without neglecting the stability of bilateral relations.
Focus on Strengthening Bilateral Relations The
Indonesian government emphasized the importance of maintaining good bilateral relations with the United States, which has been one of Indonesia's largest trading partners. “The United States is also one of the biggest countries when it comes to trade,” the Deputy Minister said.
The export market expansion program initiated by the government, including in the form of international agreements, is a concrete step to strengthen trade relations with the United States. The government also emphasized the importance of Indonesia's neutral stance on the issue of the trade war between the United States and China, which is expected to maintain good relations with both countries.
