US President Donald Trump signed an executive decree on Thursday, which reduces additional customs duties to imported Japanese cars to 15%, from 25% to date, and are foreseen in most of the other products that his country imports from the Asian ally.

The new duties will come into force seven days after this executive decree is published in the official government newspaper, confirming the Japanese government’s reading in the agreement it signed with Washington.

Based on the details of the executive decree on the implementation of the agreement signed by Washington and Tokyo in late July, the roof of the additional duties is set to most Japanese products imported into the US at 15%.

Some areas, such as the aeronautical, that of raw materials not available by the US and that of generic drugs are excluded, the text said.

With additional duties descending to 15% from 25% (27.5% if pre -existing) for Japanese cars imported into the US market, Japan thus ensures that EU treatment is being treated.

Yesterday’s decree of Mr Trump confirms the Japanese version.

The agreement signed on July 22nd provided for exchanges from Japanese companies, in particular investments of “$ 550 billion”, of which “90% of profits will remain in the US”, then -US President Trump Social was boasting.

In addition, Japan pledged to buy “US -worth of US products (worth) of $ 8 billion, without specifying the timetable, while the two sides were to consider buying a liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Alaska.

In addition, Tokyo pledged to buy “American commercial aircraft, especially 100 Boeing”, according to the White House, and to proceed with the “lifting long restrictions” that prevented US cars access to the Japanese market.

Japan at the same time seeks to differentiate its markets. Tokyo promised noticeable on August 29th to invest $ 68 billion in India, which means deepening her relationships, both commercial and security in the field of security.
