Also, Japan will cut tariffs on products like pork and beef, and remove tariffs on goods like broccoli, almonds, and blueberries.
Furthermore, Trump said that the two countries made promises for digital trade of worth $40 billion. It would ban custom duties on goods such as e-books, videos, and music, among other provisions. He added, the document they signed highlighted “the important steps they are taking toward a reciprocal and fair-trade agreement.” Later Wednesday, the United States and Japan said in a joint statement that they desired to complete their trade dialogs within about four months.
