Indonesia calls for US products boycott- protest over Jerusalem decision

Indonesia, Dec 17: Indonesia too joined the countries protesting against President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Muslim clerics called for boycott of American products in Indonesia.

Banners were carried by the protesters which read as "Indonesia unites for Palestine", "Save our Palestine," and "peace without Trump". An estimated 80,000 people rallied in the capital of the world's largest Muslim nation in the 10th straight day of protests.

Anwar Abbas, a top cleric from the Indonesian Council of Ulema, read a petition calling on Indonesians to stop buying American products until Trump revoked his move. "Don't rely on their products," he said, as the crowd including men, women and children responded by waving Indonesian and Palestinian flags and shouting "boycott!"

If the boycott takes place in Muslim countries then America will have to suffer huge losses due to Trump's decision.
