Donald Trump announced a significant trade deal with Japan, claiming unprecedented benefits for the US. The agreement reportedly opens Japanese agricultural markets to US exports and allows for increased car sales, though the actual impact on trade volume is questioned. Japan's investment of up to $550 billion in the US is highlighted as a key component. This deal follows Trump's withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and sets a precedent for negotiations with other nations like the European Union.
