The US-Indonesia trade agreement, effective March 27, 2026, has drawn criticism for its prioritization of resource extraction, particularly in mining and fossil fuels.
Critics highlight potential environmental degradation and adverse effects on local communities, suggesting that the deal may favor industrial interests over sustainable practices.
