President Trump Threatens 35% Tariffs on Japan (WSJ. 20250702)
Japanese shares slipped today following a threat by President Trump to raise tariffs on Japan to his high as 35% after he appeared to cut off trade talks with Tokyo earlier this week. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said it's unlikely the sides will reach an agreement ahead of the July 9th deadline for trade deals set by his administration. Japanese officials have said repeatedly they can't agree to any deal that doesn't reduce industry-specific tariffs. So far, the administration has cut only a limited trade agreement with the UK, and struck a tariff truce with China. Though, Trump said yesterday the U.S. Was nearing a deal with India. Well, a day after the Senate backed the President's tax and spending megabill, a number of House Republicans are lining up to oppose it, and their numbers appear large enough to block its passage. Among them are House Freedom Caucus members who've taken issue with the decision by senators to forgo standard accounting rules, and declare that extending tax cuts would've no impact on the federal budget. Though, skeptics on Capitol Hill predict fiscal conservatives and other holdouts will fall in line when the President gets directly involved. And Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit with President Trump over a 60 Minutes interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. In the settlement, which doesn't include an apology, Paramount also agreed that 60 Minutes will release transcripts of interviews with presidential candidates in the future. It caps a month-long legal saga after Trump alleged that the network edited the interview to make Harris sound better. CBS has said it didn't doctor her comments, but rather aired a more succinct version of her response. Asian markets have ended the day mixed. European shares are gaining in midday trading. And U.S. stock futures are pointing to a higher open ahead of the ADP employment report due out at 8:15 AM Eastern.
트럼프가 일본에 최대 35% 과세를 부과할 수 있다고 발표하면서 일본 증시가 하락함. 트럼프는 무역 협상 기한일까지 일본과 합의할 가능성이 낮다고 함. 일본은 산업별 관세 인하가 없는 합의에 동의할 수 없다고 함. 미국은 현재까지 영국과 제한적 합의를 했으며, 중국과 무역 전쟁 휴전을 맺음. 또한 인도와의 합의가 마무리 단계라고 함. 한편, 상원에서 통과된 트럼프의 법안이 하원에서 반대에 부딪힐 예정임. 예컨대 상원에서 표준 회계 규칙을 따르지 않기로 하고, 감세가 연방 예산에 영향을 주지 않을 것이라고 한 점에 대해 문제를 제기함. 한편, Paramount Global은 Kamala Harris 전 부통령 대선 후보를 좋은 이미지로 보여주기 위해 인터뷰를 편집했다고 제기한 트럼프의 소송을 해결하기 위해 1600억 달러를 지급하기로 함. 합의 내용에는 사과 내용은 없으며, 향후 대선 후보와의 인터뷰 전사문을 공개하겠다고 함. 해당 프로그램 60 Minutes의 방송국 CBS는 인터뷰를 조작한 게 아니고 간결한 버전을 방송한 것이라고 설명함. 한편, 아시아 증시는 혼조세로 마감, 유럽 증시는 장중 상승세, 미국 주식 선물도 상승세이며, 곧 ADP 고용 보고서가 공개될 예정임
