US President Donald Trump said he had reached a trade deal with Japan on Tuesday.

Under the new terms, the US will place a 15% tariff on goods imported from Japan, down from a previously threatened 25% tariff.

Japan and the United States have held trade talks for several months FILE February 7 2025

"This deal will create hundreds of thousands of jobs — there has never been anything like it," Trump posted on Truth Social.

He added that the United States "will continue to always have a great relationship with the country of Japan."

After Trump's post, Japanese Prime Minister Sherigu Ishiba said he was ready to meet or speak over the phone with Trump after being briefed on the details by Japan's top trade negotiator Ryosei Akazawa, who has been in Washington for talks.
