Trump: Japan deal reached with tariff rate set at 15%
WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump said he reached a trade deal with Japan that will set tariffs on Japanese imports at 15% and see the key American ally invest $550 billion into the US. "I just signed the largest trade deal in history - I think maybe the largest deal in history - with Japan," Trump said at an event at the White House on Tuesday after announcing the deal on social media. "And that was done with Japan. They had their top people here and we worked on it long and hard and it's a great deal for everybody."

Trump has repeatedly zeroed in on auto trade as he criticizes trade imbalances with the country. Around 80% of Japan's trade surplus with the US is in cars and auto parts. Additional details of the preliminary agreement with Japan - including, critically, if Japanese automobiles and parts would receive a carve-out from separate 25% tariffs - were not immediately available. Japan's public broadcaster NHK said Washington would also lower the rate on the auto sector to 15%, citing an unidentified government official. Shares in Japanese carmakers jumped in Tokyo, with Toyota Motor Corp . rising more than 11%. Live Events "Japan and the US have been conducting close negotiations with our national interests on the line," Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said in Tokyo. "The two nations will continue to work together to create jobs and good products." Trump has previously announced trade frameworks without many specifics only for the White House to provide details days and weeks later, as terms are hammered out. Trump indicated at the event with Republican lawmakers at the White House that he also expects to sign a deal on a joint venture with Japan to export liquefied natural gas from Alaska. White House spokespeople did not immediately respond to requests for more information.

Rs 1 crore is not enough: Financial expert explains why your retirement corpus may feel like just Rs 20 lakh in 20 years
Only one in four Indians actively plan for retirement, and many opt for pensions of less than Rs 5,000 a month. The median pension savings in the country is often under Rs 20 lakh. Now, new concerns are being raised about the future value of the widely assumed 'Rs 1 crore retirement goal.' Financial experts warn that by 2045, this amount may not be enough to cover basic expenses. Rs 1 crore retirement goal under scanner A recent LinkedIn post by Chennai-based audit expert B. Govinda Raju has brought attention to a gap in India's retirement planning. According to Raju, 'We don't plan for longevity or inflation,' which could leave retirees in a difficult financial situation.

But basic calculations tell a different story. If someone retires at 60 with Rs 1 crore and lives till 85, that gives them about Rs 33,000 a month for 25 years. However, due to inflation, this amount will reduce in value over time. Within 10 years, Rs 33,000 will feel more like Rs 17,500. By 2045, it may be worth less than Rs 16,000 a month. Real value shrinks over time Healthcare expenses, rent, family needs, and daily living costs are expected to rise steadily. The Rs 1 crore that once seemed sufficient may only be worth around Rs 23 lakh in real terms by 2045. That would not cover even basic monthly expenses in most urban areas. Despite this, most Indians are not prepared. Data shows that only a quarter of the population takes active steps to plan for retirement. Many settle for pension plans that provide less than Rs 5,000 per month. The median retirement corpus remains below Rs 20 lakh, far from what is needed for even a modest post-retirement lifestyle. Live Events How much is enough? Experts suggest that a realistic target for retirees living in metro cities should be around Rs 4–5 crore, especially if they expect monthly expenses of Rs 1 lakh or more in current value. Those living in smaller towns may still need a retirement corpus of at least Rs 2.5 crore to manage basic needs without financial stress. The common causes of poor retirement planning include underestimating inflation, neglecting health-related expenses, low financial literacy, and depending too much on family or illiquid assets like real estate. What can be done? Financial planners recommend starting retirement savings early, increasing Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) amounts every year, and diversifying across equity and debt instruments. Planning separately for healthcare costs and building alternate income sources like rental income or dividends can also help. The idea that Rs 1 crore is enough for a secure retirement no longer holds true. As inflation and healthcare costs rise, those who do not revise their plans may face severe financial strain. Without early action and better planning, future retirees could risk running out of money before they run out of time.
