Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi/DOK ANTARA

JAKARTA - Secretary of State Prasetyo Hadi said the negotiation process regarding the United States import tariff policy, which was originally targeted to be completed by the end of January, is now expected to shift to mid-February 2026.

Prasetyo said the tariff policy associated with President Donald Trump is still ongoing and has not encountered any substantial obstacles.

"Maybe in mid-February. The last update from the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, maybe in the second week of February," he said in response to the latest developments in the agenda, reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, January 28.

Prasetyo also stated that until now there has been no plan for Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto to make a direct visit related to the negotiations.

According to him, the adjustment of time is more due to the fact that there are still a number of things that need to be found by both parties.

However, he stated that the shift in schedule was not due to substantive issues.

"Substantially, insyaallah there is no problem," said Prasetyo, while asking for prayers that the negotiation process can run smoothly and bring the greatest benefit to the nation and state.
