President Donald Trump said he reached a deal with Indonesia that will tariff its goods at 19%, adding that the Southeast Asian nation agreed to erase all duties on US imports and buy more than US$19 billion ($24.4 billion) of American products including 50 Boeing jets.

“We are going to have full access to Indonesia,” Trump told reporters Tuesday at the White House. “They are paying 19% and we are not paying anything.”

Trump said later on social media that Indonesia agreed to purchase US$15 billion in US energy and US$4.5 billion worth of agricultural products, adding that “many” of the Boeing planes would be 777s.
