I'd wait a few days to see if these trade "deals" are actually official or what the details are before believing that they've completed a real trade deal, or if it actually benefits the USA.

Thank you too Japan for not fucking us harder.

“… After the elections, Japanese officials found themselves having to “scramble to put together a package that they thought would satisfy the Trump administration,” said Glen S. Fukushima, a former trade official and ex-president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan.
