Japan has deployed approximately 20 percent of the investments and loans it pledged under a tariff agreement reached with the United States one year ago, Japan Times reported. The July 22, 2025 deal set a total pledge of up to $550 billion, with the United States agreeing in exchange to lower tariffs on imports from Japan.
Six projects have been selected to receive the funds since the agreement took effect.
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi met with President Donald Trump at the White House in Washington in March, and the Japanese government has faced criticism over the size of the proposed investments and loans directed to a foreign country.
