Indonesia agreed to a significant number of conditions put forward by the United States during the trade talks, including a plan to import fuel from the US instead of Singapore, the report said on Wednesday. However, Indonesia rejected provisions that violate its constitution, including demands to purchase US drones for surveillance in the South China Sea, the report added. According to the newspaper, the parties are close to an agreement to reduce US tariffs from 32% to 19%. Indonesia reportedly intends to ease restrictions on imports of American cars and remove barriers to the supply of technological and medical equipment from the US. Discussions between the parties are ongoing and are currently focused on finalizing the agreement and resolving administrative issues, the report read.
