After his meeting with the President of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., on Tuesday, President Trump announced a new trade deal with the Philippines and, hours later, one with Indonesia.
Immediately after his meeting concluded, Trump announced that the Philippines will cease all tariffs and pay a 19% tariff on imports to the Untied States. ” In addition, we will work together Militarily. It was a Great Honor to be with the President. He is Highly Respected in his Country, as he should be,” the President said:

Just hours later, President Trump announced another deal with the Republic of Indonesia and President Prabowo Subianto — also with no tariffs on American goods. Indonesia, too, will pay 19% on “all of their products coming into the U.S.A.”
” In addition, Indonesia will supply the United States with their precious Critical Minerals, as well as sign BIG Deals, worth Tens of Billions of Dollars, to purchase Boeing Aircraft, American Farm products, and American Energy. This Deal is a HUGE WIN for our Automakers, Tech Companies, Workers, Farmers, Ranchers, and Manufacturers,” Trump said.
