‘Very exciting time for the USA’: US and Japan strike massive trade deal
US President Donald Trump has announced America has struck a massive trade deal with Japan as he suggested it was “perhaps the largest deal ever made”.
President Trump announced this in a Truth Social post where he claimed Japan will also pay “reciprocal tariffs” to the United States of 15 per cent.
“Japan will invest, at my direction, $550 billion into the United States, which will receive 90 per cent of the profits. This deal will create hundreds of thousands of jobs — there has never been anything like it,” he said.
“Perhaps most importantly, Japan will open their country to trade, including cars and trucks, rice and certain other agricultural products, and other things.
“This is a very exciting time for the United States of America, and especially for the fact that we will continue to always have a great relationship with the country of Japan.”
