Indonesia's Energy Ministry Reviews Energy Import Agreement Following US Supreme Court's Cancellation of Trump Tariffs

Jakarta – Indonesia’s Deputy Energy Minister Yuliot Tanjung stated that the ministry will review energy import agreements with the United States, including crude oil, refined fuel products, and liquified petroleum gas, over the next 90 days. This review follows the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn tariff policies established by President Donald Trump.

“Given the US Supreme Court’s decision, we now have the opportunity for a 90-day review period,” said Yuliot at the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry in Jakarta on Friday, 27 February 2026.

He noted that changes or further discussions regarding the agreements may occur within the 90-day timeframe as part of the implementation process. “Over the next 90 days, we will conduct discussions as part of the implementation process,” Yuliot added.

Tanjung clarified that the US Supreme Court cancelled the reciprocal tariffs themselves, not the bilateral trade agreements negotiated following Trump’s tariff announcement. He explained that the energy import agreement under the Reciprocal Tariff Agreement (ART) is valued at $15 billion, which differs from the tariffs subject to the Supreme Court review.

“The agreement for energy imports from the US under the ART is valued at $15 billion. The Supreme Court’s review concerned tariffs specifically. So there is a distinction,” he said.

On 19 February 2026, Indonesia and the United States officially signed the reciprocal tariff agreement, which granted zero percent tariff facilities to 1,819 Indonesian product categories. Products covered include palm oil, coffee, cocoa, spices, rubber, electronic components including semiconductors, and aircraft components. Both countries also agreed to eliminate import duties on Indonesian textile and garment products under specific quota schemes.

However, one day after the agreement was signed, on 20 February 2026, the US Supreme Court ruled that President Trump lacked the authority to impose global tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The ruling prompted the United States to implement provisional global tariffs of 10 percent, with the White House planning to increase them to 15 percent. Indonesia’s Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs confirmed that further discussions with the United States would follow the Supreme Court’s decision invalidating Trump’s reciprocal tariff policy.
