Folks, told 'ya 48 hours ago. The wheels are now coming off. Please always listen to #Japanese trade and negotiating experts with years of experience in this field. Don't listen to the spinmeisters, carnival barkers, and Johnny Come Latelys to Tokyo. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
エプスタインファイルという大きな問題から気をそらすのは、トランプからの騒音にすぎないと思います...ニュースは毎日、彼がとんでもない発言をしたり、他のアメリカ市民を攻撃したりする問題でいっぱいです。事実は、彼が単に難読化(obfuscate)してそのスキャンダルから逃げようとしているときです。

Akazawa Ryosei, the lead negotiator for the Japanese side in the US-Japan tariff deal, says that the "90% profits to America" stuff that the Trump administration is talking about will only apply to about 1% or 2% of the $550 billion Japan is investing in the US.
Yep
日本はアメリカに80兆円の投資（トランプが望んだ事業への資金提供）をする条件で、関税を25%から15%に引き下げた。 読めば読むほど酷い合意内容だ。 ヤクザみたいな関税を課されて、平身低頭で、何でもしますから下げて下さい！と交渉した日本政府。今後に禍根を残す合意た。

Here is the acid test as to whether it is a cult or not… This kind of meme nonsense makes the rounds and the leader whom it glorifies fails to say to his followers … “Knock it off!”
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly;…
An excellent thread (in Japanese) by a woman who may just be the next Prime Minister of #Japan, Sanae #Takaichi, an LDP internal political rival of #Ishiba, takes apart the US-#Japan “agreement” and wants more details, urges a much stronger Japan, coupling with nations outside of…
日本時間の7月23日に、米国の関税措置に関する日米協議が合意に至ったとのニュースが飛び込んできました。 大手メディアの報道でも政府与党内でも「大成功」との空気感でした。…
Unsurprisingly, the Financial Times is reporting that Japan does not agree with Lutnick's description of the deal - and that there is no written agreement for the $550 billion. Lutnick has been saying taxpayers will get 90% of the profits from these factories - Japan says profits…
