President Trump announces 'massive' Japan trade deal with 15% tariff

Trump said the U.S. will impose a 15% tariff on Japanese imports under the agreement, which he hailed as "maybe the largest deal in history."

How great he is! I feel so fortunate to have the great Donald as our deal making president. His genius is without equal.

So, a wonderful 15% tariff on imports from Japan is now on our plates. Translation, products made in Japan will now cost us 15% more.

Pay attention MAGA, I'll try to explain this in simple terms you can understand. Say you want a decent full frame 35mm camera. Unless you want to spend in the neighborhood of $10,000 for a German Leica, a quality Canon or Nikon from Japan will be your best bet. So a very nice Canon EOS R5 with lens (on Amazon) is priced at $4,399.00 (Prime). With 7% sales tax in my state that rounds out to a very nice $4,706.93.

Now, let's tack on Trump's beautiful 15% cost increase (paid by you, not Japan!), the camera price becomes $5,058.85 plus $354.12 sales tax, total of $5,412.97. That's a tidy increase of $706.04, pocket change for you wealthy Republicans.

So a bigly thank you to President Trump as the "Golden Age" just keeps getting better and better!

Yep. Their lives have been so infused with TDS that they failed to see the opportunity Trump handed to them on a silver platter. Glad I loaded up on Nvidia.

The tRumplings cannot see it. Their ghod told them it was a win so that is what they will believe no matter what.

It's how cults work.

This place is heavily weighted towards the tRumpling side, membership wise. They insult me because they can't respond to my posts in any reasoned way and they are tired of having their collective nose rubbed in uncomfortable facts.

Japan Says Trump to Correct ‘Extremely Regrettable’ Error in Tariff Order.​

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/business/japan-tariffs-us-trade-deal.html

The Trump administration has agreed to correct an “extremely regrettable” blunder in the execution of its trade agreement with Japan, the country’s top trade negotiator said in Washington on Thursday.

In negotiations last month, Japanese officials believed they had secured a deal that, in return for pledges to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in the United States and open their market to more American goods, would set a standard tariff rate of 15 percent for all of Japan’s products shipped to the United States.

In a July 31 executive order, the Trump administration outlined a similar scheme for the European Union. But Japan, along with other trade partners, was issued a new tariff rate that would be “stacked” on top of existing ones. In Japan’s case, that raised tariffs on items such as its beef exports to the United States to 41.4 percent from 26.4 percent.
