US and Japan agree ‘largest trade deal in history’, says Donald Trump | BBC News

We despise America and Americans now who bullied to make the most unfair tariff deals and agree. America is an egocentric country that we no longer hold in high regard. Stay away from Japan. Americans do not deserve to experience the sophisticated Japanese culture that the Japanese people have cultivated over decades with honour, respect, and manners. All Americans care about is money, power, and Instagram, and electing someone like DT who has associated with Jeffrey Epstein🤮

美国人真是把日本人当日本人整啊😂

Many Japanese hate Prime Minister ISHIBA WHO IS DICTATOR. He is idiot.

ថៃ​វាយ​ប្រហារមកកម្ពុជា​មុន​ ហើយ​ថៃ​សម្តែង​ធ្វើជា​ជនរងគ្រោះ។ កម្ពុជា​បាន​ប្រើ​សិទ្ធិ​ការពារ​ខ្លួន។ ជនរងគ្រោះពិតប្រាកដគឺជាប្រជាជនកម្ពុជា។

Thailand attacked Cambodia first, and Thailand pretended to be the victim. Cambodia used its right to defend itself. The real victims were the Cambodian people.

ថៃអត់បញ្ចប់ការបាញ់មកលើកម្ពុជាទេ
Thailand still fire Cambodia
ថៃនៅតែបន្តឈ្លានពានលើទឹកដីកម្ពុជា។

Translation: Japan is scared about China‘s rise and pays the US (even more) to protect it.

Japan rewarding the bully.

Japan is a slave of America

​You're absolutely right in your assessment that, from a high-level perspective, the recent trade deals negotiated by the US under the Trump administration appear to favor America, with Japan and the EU making significant concessions.
​Here's a breakdown of why this perception holds, and the implications for each party:
​Why the US Appears to Be "Winning":
​Tariff Baseline and Leverage: The US has effectively used the threat of even higher, punitive tariffs (e.g., 25% or 30%) as leverage to secure agreements. While the agreed-upon 15% tariff on many imports from the EU and Japan is a reduction from the threatened rates, it's still a new tariff imposition that wasn't there before, and a significant one. This sets a "new normal" for trade that is more favorable to the US.
​Increased US Exports and Market Access: Both deals involve commitments from Japan and the EU to significantly increase their purchases of US goods, particularly in sectors like agriculture, energy, and defense. This directly benefits American industries and aims to reduce trade deficits.
​Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into the US: A key component of these deals is substantial commitments from Japan (over $550 billion) and the EU (around $600 billion) for new investments in the United States. This is pitched as creating jobs and boosting manufacturing within the US, aligning with the "America First" agenda.
​Focus on Bilateral Deals: The US strategy has shifted away from multilateral agreements towards bilateral deals, which often allow the larger economy (the US in this case) to exert more pressure and secure terms that are more advantageous to itself.
​Avoiding "Non-Tariff Barriers": Analysts suggest these deals tend to focus on tariff reductions and purchases, rather than complex regulatory harmonization and non-tariff barriers that have historically complicated trade talks. This simplifies the process and allows the US to quickly achieve tangible (tariff and investment-related) wins.
​Why Japan and the EU are "Losing" (or making significant compromises):
​New Tariff Impositions: While avoiding the worst-case scenario of 25% or 30% tariffs, the 15% tariff on many of their exports to the US is a new cost that their businesses will have to absorb or pass on to consumers. This can impact their competitiveness and profit margins.
​Significant Commitments: The pledges of billions in investments and purchases of US goods represent substantial concessions. For Japan, the commitment to increase rice imports by 75% and purchase significant US defense equipment are notable. For the EU, the large-scale purchases of US energy (particularly LNG) and military equipment are significant.
​Strategic Sacrifices: In some cases, these deals may involve strategic sacrifices. For example, the EU's commitment to purchase US energy may shift its energy supply chains, with geopolitical implications.
​"Relief, Not a Win": For Japan and the EU, these deals are often framed as a "relief" that a worse trade war was averted, rather than a clear "win" for their own economies. They had to pay a price to avoid further escalation.
​Uneven Playing Field: While the US often cites trade imbalances, the new tariff structure can still create an uneven playing field. For instance, the 50% tariff on steel and aluminum from the EU reportedly remains, even with the new 15% overall tariff on other goods. Similarly, US automakers might feel at a disadvantage compared to Japanese automakers benefiting from reduced tariffs on their exports to the US.
​In essence:
​The US, under this administration's trade policy, has successfully leveraged its economic size and the threat of severe tariffs to extract significant concessions from key trading partners. While Japan and the EU have avoided the most extreme tariff increases, they have agreed to terms that involve new costs, increased purchases of US goods, and substantial investment in the American economy.
​Therefore, the general consensus aligns with your observation: America appears to be "winning" these specific bilateral trade negotiations in terms of securing immediate economic benefits and rebalancing trade relationships on its own terms, while Japan and the EU are making notable compromises to maintain access to the US market and avoid further trade friction.

Why is it always the biggest or best in history. This narcissistic BS is getting old.
