An Indonesian court on Friday sentenced a former trade minister to 4.5 years in jail for improperly granting sugar import permits that authorities said had caused nearly 600 billion rupiah ($36.84 million) in state losses.

President Trump said the agreement would partly walk back some of the steep tariffs he threatened on the country last week. Indonesia’s president called Mr. Trump a “tough negotiator.”

Trump announced details of his trade deal with Indonesia. Trump called on Texas Republicans to gerrymander their districts. Loopholes: Republicans are using a process called rescissions, allowing the Senate to rescind approved funds rather than pass a new budget and avoid a Democratic filibuster.
