US Intends to Retaliate for Indonesia's Agricultural Import Barriers

The United States notified other countries at the World Trade Organization that it intends to impose $350 million in retaliatory tariffs against Indonesia because that country has not complied with a WTO ruling from November 2017. The U.S. says that its agriculture exports have been reduced by that amount. The dispute began in 2013, and a panel was formed in 2015, because Indonesia's import license regime and other restrictions affect meat, fruit and vegetables, the U.S. says (see 1503190027).
