Headline: UNCAPTIONED: U.S. and Japan Strike Landmark Trade Deal, Easing Tariff Tensions
Caption: U.S. and Japan Strike Landmark Trade Deal, Easing Tariff Tensions. The U.S. and Japan have reached a major trade agreement that slashes planned U.S. tariffs on Japanese goods and secures a $550 billion investment package from Tokyo. Tariffs on Japanese auto exports—making up over 25% of Japan's U.S. shipments—will drop from 25% to 15%, offering immediate relief to Japan's auto sector. President Trump called it the "largest TRADE DEAL in history," praising the continued strong alliance with Japan. Japanese official Ishiba, expected to resign after recent election losses, called it the most favorable deal among trade-surplus nations. The agreement includes huge Japanese investments in U.S. supply chains, particularly in semiconductors and pharmaceuticals. Japan also plans to increase purchases of U.S. agricultural products. Markets cheered the news: Japan's Nikkei surged 2.6%, with auto giants like Toyota and Honda seeing double-digit gains. However, U.S. automakers criticized the deal, arguing it unfairly disadvantages North American-built cars still facing higher tariffs.
