U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a major trade agreement with Japan, ending weeks of tense negotiations and averting the previously threatened 25% tariffs on Japanese imports.
Under the new deal, a 15% tariff will be imposed on Japanese goods entering the U.S., with Japan agreeing to invest $550 billion in the American economy. The agreement is being hailed as a significant step in stabilizing trade relations between the two allies, though some sector-specific tariffs, such as those on steel and aluminum, remain unchanged. The news sparked a rally in Japanese and Asian stock markets, particularly boosting automaker shares.
The deal also comes at a politically sensitive time for Japan, with Prime Minister Ishiba facing domestic pressure over the outcome of the talks.
