The package helped secure a 15% U.S. tariff on Japanese exports instead of a threatened 25% rate. Japanese officials are now eager to show progress.\n\nopen image in gallery\n\nJamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JP Morgan Chase, listens as President Donald Trump speaks at the United States Army War College in Carlisle, Pa(AP)\n\nThe Trump administration has also presented Tokyo with a list of additional projects that could fall under the agreement, according to three sources familiar with the talks.","source_name":"The Independent","source_url":"https://www.independent.co.uk/money/jpmorgan-us-banks-japan-investment-trump-b3018741.html","url":"https://www.independent.co.uk/money/jpmorgan-us-banks-japan-investment-trump-b3018741.html","author":"Makiko Yamazaki and Tamiyuki Kihara","author_name":"Makiko Yamazaki and Tamiyuki Kihara","published_at":"2026-07-21T10:49:25.000Z","publication_date":"2026-07-21T10:49:25.000Z","image_url":"https://static.independent.co.uk/2026/07/21/11/download.-2.","category":"world","topic":"world","tags":[],"political_bias":null,"bias_score":null,"confidence_score":null,"credibility_score":null,"factual_quality":null,"reading_time":3,"word_count":485,"view_count":0,"breaking":false,"breaking_news":false,"ai_analysis":null,"fact_check_status":"unverified","archive_status":"hot","language":null}}
