TRUMP SAYS U.S. AND JAPAN HAVE REACHED INITIAL TRADE AGREEMENT –

President Trump said on Monday that his administration had reached an initial trade agreement with Japan and would announce a deal in the coming weeks. The trade pact, while limited, is expected to increase access for American agricultural products like beef and chicken to the Japanese market. That would provide some relief to farmers who have been hurt by Mr. Trump’s trade war with China. Exact details of the deal have not been released. (New York Times)
