Dampak Efek Tarif Trump 32% ke Indonesia

Summary

In this video, President Donald Trump announces the implementation of reciprocal tariffs on trade partners who have been imposing disproportionate tariffs on U.S. imports. The new tariffs will be approximately half of what other countries charge the U.S. The policy affects over 160 countries, with Indonesia facing a 32% tariff on its exports to the U.S. The move is expected to negatively impact Indonesia's exports, particularly minerals, coal, and palm oil, while also potentially leading to job losses in labor-intensive industries. The policy could weaken the Indonesian rupiah and hurt economic growth, especially in non-Java regions.
