A very short guide to the US and Japan agreement:
1) Agriculture: for the most part, the same as was in TPP, with some notable exceptions (rice in particular)
2) Small industrial tariffs cut by US
3) Digital trade rules, like TPP/USMCA
4) Ambiguous non-pledge pledge on 232 autos— Tobias Harris (@observingjapan) September 25, 2019

Let's be clear. This headline is very misleading. "U.S. Farmers Get A Much-Needed Break Under Partial Trade Pact With Japan" This doesn't get the US anything meaningfully new. What it does is replace 2.5 years of losses from Trump dropping TPP.https://t.co/F6ptUiBFoL

That's untrue. The trade deal signed with Japan now puts us in the biggest tariff free trade bloc in the world. WTO tariffs are always going to apply on countries and blocs that don't have a FTA.

#Japan trade talks are in the final stretch. Happy for US farmers to finally get the market access that they should have gotten two years ago when their competitors in the other #TPP counties did. Hope they can quickly recoup lost market share!!
