Remarks Prior to a Meeting With President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo of Indonesia in Hamburg, Germany

President Trump. Thank you very much. It's my great honor to have the President of Indonesia, a country that is doing extremely well, and I would imagine a big part of that is leadership. Do you agree with that? [Laughter]

President Widodo. Thank you, President Trump.

President Trump. I think it's leadership. But we've become friends, and we're going to be doing a lot of deals together, trade deals. We have our whole trade delegation here, and we will start doing a lot of trading with Indonesia. We do very little business, relatively, now.

President Widodo. Yes.

President Trump. But we are going to do a lot of business.

So, Mr. President, it's a great honor to have you. Thank you.

President Widodo. Thank you for this meeting, President Trump. First and most importantly, I need to deliver to you warm greetings from your millions of fans in Indonesia. [Laughter]

President Trump. Ah! Thank you.

President Widodo. They are only interested in one thing: When can they personally welcome you to Indonesia? [Laughter]

President Trump. We'll get there. We'll get there. That's a place I'd like to go, actually.

President Widodo. I can get into serious trouble if I don't bring back some good news for your millions of fans in Indonesia. [Laughter]

President Trump. Okay. [Laughter]

President Widodo. Second, I wanted to convey our sincere appreciation for Vice President Michael Pence's visit to Jakarta——

President Trump. Yes. He did. Right.

President Widodo. ——3 months ago. We really, really appreciate that your administration choose Indonesia as one of the four stops on your Vice President's tour around Asia.

President Trump. Yes.

President Widodo. Vice President Pence underlined the commitment of the U.S.A. to strengthen the strategic partnership with Indonesia. From our perspective, his visit was very, very successful. So once again, thank you.

President Trump. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much, everybody.
