Trump, Japan and trade deal
Digest more
President Donald Trump announced a trade agreement with Japan on Tuesday, making it the largest U.S. trade partner to broker an accord as the White House threatens to impose tariffs on dozens of countries within days.
President Trump's trade strategy, marked by elevated tariffs, is yielding agreements with nations like the EU, Japan, and Vietnam. The EU accepted 15% US tariffs and committed to significant purchases and investments.
The new trade agreement between the U.S. and the European Union will lift tariffs on imports of goods from EU countries to their highest level in decades and hurt the trading bloc's economic growth, according to some experts.
