        "summary": "President Prabowo Subianto has reaffirmed that Indonesia's national interests will always take precedence in any international agreements, including trade deals with the United States, and the government is prepared to abandon such pacts if they pose a risk to the nation. He stressed that all foreign investments must adhere to Indonesian regulations, particularly in managing natural resources, while maintaining openness to cooperation on critical minerals at market prices. Citing the long-standing Freeport mining operations as a successful example, Prabowo highlighted how compliance with rules has turned it into a major revenue source for the country, underscoring Indonesia's balanced approach to foreign partnerships.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - President Prabowo Subianto has emphasised that\nnational interests remain the top priority in every international\nagreement, including trade deals with the United States. According to\nhim, the government will not hesitate to abandon any agreement if it is\ndeemed potentially detrimental to the nation\u2019s interests. \u201cYou must\nbelieve that I prioritise Indonesia\u2019s national interests,\u201d said Prabowo\nduring a discussion with journalists and experts, quoted from a release\nby the Indonesian Communication Agency (Bakom) RI, on Sunday\n(22\/3\/2026). \u201cIf I assess that our national interests are threatened by\nany agreement, then we can leave it,\u201d he stated. The President also\nemphasised that all investments entering Indonesia must follow\napplicable regulations, especially in the management of natural\nresources. He assured that Indonesia remains open to cooperation with\nforeign parties as long as they comply with the government\u2019s\nstipulations. \u201cRegarding critical minerals, I have already said we are\nopen, but everything must be at market price, at economic price,\u201d he\nsaid. The government, he added, has long granted cooperation permits,\nsuch as in the case of Freeport, which now contributes significantly to\nthe state\u2019s revenue. \u201cIf they want to follow the rules, we permit it.\nThey have been mining at Freeport for decades. Freeport now generates\none of our largest revenues,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
