President Donald Trump has struck a major trade agreement with Japan, calling it a “massive win” for American workers and businesses. The deal lowers U.S. tariffs on Japanese goods from 25% to 15%, while Japan agrees to open its markets wider to U.S. cars, rice, and technology.
The agreement also includes key partners like Indonesia and the Philippines, aiming to strengthen U.S. influence in Asia. With over $500 billion in new Japanese investments promised, experts say this could boost U.S. exports and manufacturing jobs.
The EU has voiced concerns and is preparing its response, signaling rising trade tensions ahead.
This deal marks a bold step in Trump’s “America First” trade strategy and may reshape global market dynamics in the months to come.
