Our historic trade deal with Japan delivers $550 billion for America to invest and strengthen our nation.
We will use the funds to build our energy infrastructure, chip manufacturing, critical minerals mining, and shipbuilding to name a few.
What we’ve achieved with our Japanese partners is an absolute game changer for America’s future — and it’s exactly what the America First trade agenda is all about. For the first time ever, President Trump will literally direct these investments for the benefit of America.
Today is a historic day between the
United States of America and Japan
because the president of the United
States has signed the executive order
that puts into effect the amazing
historic agreement between Japan and the
United States. I have with me Minister
Akazawa. So, how do you feel?
Yeah, I feel very good for both
countries. Yeah, it's really good for
our building up the economic security
and also economic growth for both both
countries. So, it's really historic I
believe.
So Japan has a 15% tariff which is
tremendously
beneficial to Japan is lower than almost
anyone else in the world. And they have
committed $550 billion to America so
that President Trump can commit those
funds to building the infrastructure of
America to help America reach its
national and economic security. So
you've got Japan backing the United
States of America by investing in
America. And of course, we have created
a very advantageous relationship with
Japan so they can do business with
America, the greatest consumers in the
world, the great American consumer.
Yes. Yeah. I believe it's a, you know,
special partnership between both
countries. you know, we try to cooperate
and to try to build up uh the uh supply
chain of uh every you know important
area in economic uh security and it's
very important for both countries and I
very happy both countries cooperate to
build up the supply chains in your
country. Yes, we try to, you know, uh
supply uh 550 billion dollars investment
and we fully support uh US uh to build
up those supply chains. I'm very happy
with that and also it contributes a lot
to uh Japanese uh economic uh growth and
also building up economic security. It's
really good for both countries. That's I
believe so. Fantastic. And uh I cannot
be more excited for Japan. I cannot be
more excited for America. And it's all
driven by the leadership of President
Donald Trump.
And also I you know really thank your
leadership and you of course uh think uh
about America. It's of course but uh you
know you at the same time think about uh
what is good for Japan. I really felt so
so I put much trust in you. You're a
very nice guy for me and also for
Japanese people and for Japan. Uh we uh
successfully build up you know big trust
between us. So I'm quite sure this
project will be a great success for both
countries. That's I believe.
Thank you. And thank you. How many times
did you come to America?
10 times.
time
and also four weeks in a row. And I I I
think
you know maybe be surprised, right? You
you were surprised I mean seeing me you
always always
again and
and we had many videos and many meetings
but uh it was a great result for both
countries and
thank you.
I'm proud to be your partner and friend.
