US-Japan Trade Deal Snubs American Auto Giants—Here’s Who Wins

Tokyo and Washington just inked a trade agreement that deliberately sidelines Detroit's biggest players. The bilateral pact—negotiated behind closed doors—gives Japanese manufacturers a clear runway while leaving US automakers scrambling for scraps.
Key concessions:
- Zero tariff relief for American cars in Japan
- Beef and agriculture quotas slashed
- Digital trade provisions favoring Big Tech
The deal effectively hands Japan's auto sector a $2B annual advantage (because who needs fair competition when you've got geopolitical chess to play?). Treasury secretaries will spin this as a 'strategic win'—translation: another corporate handout disguised as diplomacy.
