        "summary": "Indonesia is preparing a formal response to a proposed additional 10 per cent tariff on its exports by the United States Trade Representative (USTR), which stems from an investigation into the prevention of forced labour imports. Jakarta insists it respects human rights and international labour standards, pledging to participate in public hearings and submit a written rebuttal. The government is also committed to strengthening its internal supply chain monitoring systems to mitigate the broader economic impact on national exporters.",
        "content": "<p>The Indonesian government is preparing a response to the United\nStates Trade Representative\u2019s (USTR) proposal for an additional 10 per\ncent tariff on products exported from Indonesia. This move by the US is\na consequence of an investigation related to the prevention of imported\ngoods produced through forced labour.<\/p>\n<p>Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs spokesperson Haryo\nLimanseto revealed the government is scrutinising the preliminary\ninvestigation document based on Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.\nHaryo stressed that Indonesia respects human rights and international\nlabour standards.<\/p>\n<p>\"The government will follow up on this process by submitting a\nwritten comment and actively participating in the public hearing\nscheduled by the USTR,\" Haryo stated in Jakarta on Thursday (4\/6).<\/p>\n<p>Beyond preparing a formal defence, the government is committed to\nstrengthening its internal monitoring systems. This is intended to\nensure that the supply chain for goods entering and leaving Indonesia is\nfree from forced labour practices.<\/p>\n<p>The protectionist move by President Donald Trump\u2019s administration is\nviewed as an attempt to maintain tariff policy after having previously\nfaced various legal hurdles within the United States. Indonesia is\nopting for a constructive communication path to mitigate the broader\neconomic impacts for national exporters.<\/p>",
