It is the most significant of a clutch of agreements Trump has bagged since unveiling sweeping global levies in April, though like other deals, exact details remained unclear.

President Donald Trump has announced a trade framework with Japan, placing a 15% tax on goods imported from that nation.

The U.S. and Japan have reached a trade agreement that will lower tariff rates on the longtime U.S. ally down to 15%, President Donald Trump said Tuesday. The 25% tariff rate slated to hit Japan by August will be lowered to 15%, according to Trump, who said Japan will invest $550 billion into the U.S. under the deal.
