Automakers Surge as Trump Announces Trade Deal With Japan
President Donald Trump reached a trade deal with Japan that will impose 15% tariffs on imports including automobiles from the key American ally, while creating a $550 billion fund to make investments in the US. The agreement, touted by Trump after he secured breakthroughs in a final 75-minute Oval Office meeting Tuesday with Japanese negotiators, spares the nation from a threatened 25% tariff that was set to take effect next week. 'They had their top people here and we worked on it long and hard, and it's a great deal for everybody,' Trump said at a White House event Tuesday evening.
