Donald Trump busts out iconic dance moves for Japan’s first female PM

President Donald J. Trump announced major projects advancing Japan’s previous $550 billion investment commitment to the United States to further revitalize the U.S. industrial base, signed a landmark critical minerals agreement with Japan, secured historic purchases of U.S. energy, and deepened U.S.-Japan cooperation in combatting illegal drug trafficking.

Manufacturing and Logistics Investments:
$600 million to upgrade ports and waterways across the southern United States to facilitate the export of U.S. crude oil; $500 million to establish a high-pressure, high-temperature diamond grit manufacturing facility in the United States; and $350 million to construct a lithium-iron-phosphate production facility in the United States.
Japan committed to further expand opportunities for U.S. exports, including:
Toyota plans to export its U.S.-made vehicles to Japan and open its distribution platform in Japan to U.S. automakers, as a result of Japan’s commitment to accept for sale in Japan U.S. manufactured and U.S. safety-certified vehicles without additional testing.
Japan will implement its Mobile Software Competition Act in a way that does not discriminate against U.S. companies, balances the need for fair and free competition with user safety and convenience, and respects the legitimate exercise of intellectual property rights

Gaza Peace Plan
Agreement Details: In October 2025, Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of a peace plan proposed by President Trump to end the ongoing war. The plan led to a ceasefire which began on October 10, 2025. This initial phase involved the exchange of all remaining living hostages held by Hamas for 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from populated areas in Gaza.

Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords

Conflict: Negotiations broke down after the Trump administration set a two-month deadline, which passed without an agreement. This failure led to an escalation of hostilities, with Israel and the U.S. launching military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites in June 2025.

Rwanda and DR Congo: In June 2025, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda signed a peace agreement in Washington to end decades of conflict, which President Trump said would help increase trade with the U.S.
