US President Donald Trump has announced that the US has struck a new trade agreement with Indonesia, which includes the sale of 50 Boeing jets.
Indonesia's president said U.S. counterpart Donald Trump was a "tough negotiator" after the two countries reached a trade deal that led to a reduction of proposed tariff rates to 19% from 32%.
