Trump Unveils Trade Deal Details with Philippines and Indonesia

Former US President Donald Trump announced trade agreements with both the Philippines and Indonesia, following meetings with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto. These agreements include a 19% tariff on goods imported from both countries into the United States, paid by US businesses, while US exports to the Philippines and Indonesia would be tax-free.

Details of the US-Philippines Agreement

Trump indicated the agreement with the Philippines came after intense negotiations, stating the Philippines was a "tough negotiator." However, the agreed-upon tariff is lower than previously threatened. Last year, the United States imported $14 billion worth of goods from the Philippines, primarily computers and other electronics, processed foods, machinery, and apparel. In the same period, the US exported $9 billion worth of goods to the Philippines, mainly computers and other electronics, and processed foods.

Details of the US-Indonesia Agreement

Regarding the agreement with Indonesia, a joint statement released by the White House revealed that Indonesia would eliminate approximately 99% of tariff barriers to US industrial, food, and agricultural products. Additionally, Indonesia agreed to adjust several non-tariff trade barriers, including eliminating taxes on digital service revenue and scrapping pre-shipment inspection or verification requirements for US goods. Officials stated that these requirements were a significant burden on US farmers' exports. Indonesia also agreed to accept US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and remove export restrictions on critical minerals.

Impact of Tariffs and Protectionist Policies

These agreements come within the context of a protectionist trade policy embraced by Trump, which includes the threat of imposing high tariffs on countries that do not reach trade agreements with the United States. This policy aims to protect American industries and boost US exports but also raises concerns about its impact on the global economy and higher prices for consumers.

Observations and Analysis

It's important to note that details of these agreements remain limited, and their actual impact on trade and the economy will become clear over time. The threat of high tariffs creates uncertainty in global markets. Furthermore, protectionist trade policies may trigger retaliatory actions from other countries, potentially leading to trade wars that harm everyone involved.
