The tariff rate is a significant drop from the 30% Trump threatened on July 12 and the 20% he proposed on April 2. Trump stated that the EU will not impose a tariff on U.S. imports, describing the deal as "satisfactory to both sides."
Investors will assess a slew of macro and micro indicators this week, as the Federal Reserve&#8217;s interest rate decision, along with the second-quarter GDP data, will be released on Wednesday.

U.S. stocks settled higher, with the S&amp;P 500 marking its 14th record close this year, fueled by optimism over corporate earnings and global trade talk progress, which bolstered risk assets.
All three major indices saw weekly gains, with the 30-stock Dow rising approximately 1.3%, the broad S&amp;P 500 climbing about 1.5%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq adding 1%.
Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>) reported better-than-expected second-quarter financial results. Conversely, Carter&#8217;s Inc.

Insights From Analysts:
The Director and Senior Investment Strategist at Charles Schwab &amp; Co., Kevin Gordon, highlighted that the week ahead was crucial with important market-moving data scheduled to be released during this period.

According to Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research, &#8220;Naturally, the main event will be the Federal Open Market Committee's widely expected decision (Wed) to leave the federal funds rate unchanged. We are among those expecting no change.&#8221;
However, he expects that Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8216;s press conference (Wed) will be relatively dovish, raising the odds of a September rate cut. &#8220;Nevertheless, we remain in the none-and-done camp in 2025 for now,&#8221; Yardeni added.
However, senior economist Mohamed El Erian noted that Trump&#8217;s Fed visit last week underscored &#8220;differing interpretations.&#8221;
According to him, some viewed it as a &#8220;truce,&#8221; citing the President&#8217;s pledge not to fire Chair Powell and his expectation that the Chair would &#8220;do the right thing&#8221; by cutting interest rates.
Whereas others saw the visit as an escalation, aligning with Steve Bannon&#8217;s &#8220;flood the zone&#8221; strategy. &#8220;They point to the awkward televised exchange between the President and Chair Powell regarding the renovation&#8217;s cost as evidence of continued and clear friction,&#8221; he added.
&#8220;This week promises to be an exceptionally busy one, packed with notable policy decisions, major economic data releases, and systemically important corporate earnings – all set against the backdrop of seasonally thinner market liquidity,&#8221; Erian added.
Meanwhile, Jamie Cox, the managing partner for Harris Financial Group spoke about the U.S. deal with EU.
&#8220;When Japan broke down and made a deal the EU had little choice. The biggest piece in the trade deal puzzle still remains, and the Chinese are unlikely to be as willing to fold. The next big durable theme in markets is security, and the EU deal only accelerates it,&#8221; he said.

Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/alibaba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">entered China&#8217;s competitive</a> smart glasses market, unveiling its first AI-powered wearable, Quark AI glasses, at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. 
The glasses, named after Alibaba&#8217;s AI assistant, mark the tech giant&#8217;s debut in this fast-growing space. Alibaba said it completed development and plans to launch the glasses later this year, SCMP <a href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3319701/alibaba-previews-its-first-ai-powered-glasses-joining-chinas-heated-smart-wearable-race?module=perpetual_scroll_0&amp;pgtype=article" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Saturday. 
The device runs on Qualcomm&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) Snapdragon AR1 chip and dual operating systems, offering real-time interaction with Alibaba&#8217;s ecosystem, including Alipay, Taobao, and Amap. Users can scan QR codes to pay, check prices, and get navigation assistance while walking or biking.

&#8220;AI glasses will become the most important form of wearable intelligence,&#8221; said Song Gang, head of Alibaba&#8217;s smart terminal unit, adding that the company designed the product to solve issues like short battery life and weak AI functionality. The frame and temples are thinner than industry standards.
The entrance of Alibaba intensifies the already heated competition among Big Tech titans in the smart glasses arena. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46161059/apple-has-the-potential-to-crush-metas-ray-ban-smart-glasses-says-ming-chi-kuo-but-the-tech-giant-has-been-surprisingly-slow">previously noted</a> Apple&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) potential to surpass Meta Platforms&#8217; (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Ray-Ban smart glasses, despite what he perceives as a slow pace in Apple&#8217;s development. 
Kuo&#8217;s research indicates that Apple is actively pursuing at least seven head-mounted projects, with rollouts projected to commence from 2027 onwards. 
This aggressive push from Apple comes amidst lingering market skepticism regarding its innovation velocity, particularly when juxtaposed against rivals like Meta and Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>). 
Nevertheless, Kuo views Apple&#8217;s renewed emphasis on hardware as a favorable development for both the supply chain and the broader future of wearable technology.
Alibaba&#8217;s stock has demonstrated robust performance this year, gaining 42% year-to-date. This strong momentum has been further strengthened by Goldman Sachs, which significantly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/25/05/45405917/alibabas-55-rally-gets-goldmans-1-billion-boost-will-q4-earnings-justify-the-bet">increased its stake</a> in Alibaba during the last quarter, acquiring over $1 billion in shares and becoming the largest institutional buyer. 
This substantial investment underscores growing investor confidence in Alibaba&#8217;s expansive $52.4 billion AI transformation initiatives, as Wall Street keenly awaits the company&#8217;s fourth-quarter earnings results. 
Looking ahead, industry observers note that the competitive landscape for smart glasses is set to broaden further, with companies like Snapchat&#8217;s parent Snap Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45893545/snapchat-parent-to-launch-light-weight-ar-smart-glasses-to-compete-with-meta-apple">preparing to launch</a> lightweight AR smart glasses, signaling a sustained battle for market dominance in this nascent but promising technology segment.
Price Action: BABA stock is trading higher by 2.02% to $122.45 premarket at last check Monday.

Reuters Cites EU Officials Saying European Union Agreed To Cut Car Import Duty To 2.5% As Part Of EU-U.S. Trade Deal

Meta Platforms Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has announced a ban on political, electoral, and social issue advertising in the European Union (EU) due to the &#8220;unworkable requirements&#8221; of the new rules.
What Happened: Meta, the parent company of social media giants Facebook and Instagram, as well as messaging app WhatsApp, is set to implement the ban from October, <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250725-meta-to-ban-political-ads-in-eu-due-to-bloc-s-unworkable-rules">reported</a> AFP. The new EU regulations, known as the Transparency and Targeting of Political Advertising (TTPA), are aimed at enhancing transparency in online advertising following the 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/META" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">META stock here</a>.
Meta CEO&nbsp;Mark Zuckerberg&nbsp;has been vocal about his discontent with the EU&#8217;s regulations, previously accusing the EU of &#8220;censorship&#8221; and equating fines to tariffs. The company is currently facing a 200-million-euro ($235-million) fine for violating personal data rules on Facebook and Instagram, with the possibility of additional daily penalties if changes are not made.
Meta is not alone in this move. Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) last year also revealed plans to block&nbsp;political advertising in the EU&nbsp;from October 2025 due to similar challenges and legal uncertainties.
SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46650830/donald-trump-announces-15-tariff-trade-agreement-with-eu-ending-months-of-trade-uncertainty" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donald Trump Announces 15% Tariff Trade Agreement With EU, Ending Months Of Trade Uncertainty</a>
Why It Matters: This decision by Meta comes amid a series of regulatory challenges faced by the company in the EU. Earlier in July,&nbsp;Meta, along with other tech giants, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46536032/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-and-elon-musks-x-fight-back-against-efforts-by-italy-to-tax-free-access-to-social-media-in-exchange-for-users-personal-data">fought back</a> against a tax case in Italy&nbsp;that could alter how digital services are taxed across the EU. 
Additionally, WhatsApp, owned by Meta, was warned of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46492350/russian-lawmaker-says-whatsapp-should-prepare-to-leave-amid-push-for-state-backed-messaging-app">potential exit </a>from the Russian market due to national security concerns. These instances highlight the increasing regulatory scrutiny faced by Meta in the region.
Furthermore, the EU&#8217;s stringent regulations have not only affected Meta but also other tech companies. For instance,&nbsp;Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) was expected to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46565660/apple-set-to-dodge-over-50-million-in-daily-eu-fines-with-app-store-overhaul-opening-door-to-cheaper-developer-payments-report">dodge daily </a>EU fines&nbsp;by accepting changes to its App Store rules and fees. This growing regulatory pressure on tech companies in the EU could potentially reshape the digital landscape in the region.

Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Shuts Down EU Political Ads On Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp — Calls New Rules 'Unworkable'

Fiserv (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FI#NYSE">FI</a>), when analyzed using the Adhishthana Principles, appears to be at a key crossroads. While the weekly and monthly charts both follow the framework, they offer different signals for what may lie ahead. Here&#8217;s a breakdown.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Weekly Chart Outlook: Fiserv Enters Its Final Phase</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="542" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/27085455/FI-Weekly-Chart-Phase-18-Adhishthana-.png" alt="Fig.1 Fiserv Stock's Weekly Chart (Source: Adhishthana.com)" class="wp-image-16480" style="width:605px;height:auto" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/27085455/FI-Weekly-Chart-Phase-18-Adhishthana-.png 1200w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/27085455/FI-Weekly-Chart-Phase-18-Adhishthana--300x136.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/27085455/FI-Weekly-Chart-Phase-18-Adhishthana--1024x463.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/27085455/FI-Weekly-Chart-Phase-18-Adhishthana--768x347.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Fig.1 Fiserv Stock&#8217;s Weekly Chart (Source: Adhishthana.com)</figcaption></figure>
On the weekly chart, Fiserv has just entered Phase 18, the final step in the 18-Phase Adhishthana Cycle. The cycle began in July 2013, and the current phase will end on December 20, 2026.
According to the principles, Phases 14 to 16, collectively known as the Guna Triads, determine whether a stock achieves Nirvana in Phase 18. For Nirvana to occur, Satoguna or a clean, decisive bullish trend must be present in the triads.
In Fiserv's case, Phases 14 and 16 both contained Satoguna, which sets a structural foundation for a potential move toward new all-time highs during this final phase.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Monthly Chart Outlook: Signs of a Peak?</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="680" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/27090008/Fiserv-Monthly-Chart-Adhishthana-.png" alt="Fig.2 Fiserv Stock's Monthly Chart (Source: Adhishthana.com)" class="wp-image-16481" style="width:542px;height:auto" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/27090008/Fiserv-Monthly-Chart-Adhishthana-.png 1200w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/27090008/Fiserv-Monthly-Chart-Adhishthana--300x170.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/27090008/Fiserv-Monthly-Chart-Adhishthana--1024x580.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/27090008/Fiserv-Monthly-Chart-Adhishthana--768x435.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Fig.2 Fiserv Stock&#8217;s Monthly Chart (Source: Adhishthana.com)</figcaption></figure>
On the monthly chart, Fiserv is currently in Phase 11, and the structure tells a different story.
Between Phases 4 and 8, the stock formed a typical Adhishthana Cakra, a sideways arc or channel, which it broke out of in Phase 9. That breakout launched the Adhishthana Himalayan formation, with the stock rallying ~96% in Phase 9 and another ~113% in Phase 10.
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">"The 18th interval is expected to be the level of peak formation; if not, then the 23rd interval. If this phase concludes without forming the peak, it is anticipated to occur in the following phases." &#8211; Adhishthana: The Principles That Govern Wealth, Time &amp; Tragedy
</blockquote>
In Fiserv's case, Phase 10 ended without a peak. The rally extended into Phase 11, where the stock climbed another ~175%, likely forming a peak around the $238 mark. Since then, Fiserv has corrected by 40-45%, signaling that a peak may have been set and the stock is now in the descent leg of its Himalayan formation.
This steep correction aligns with a pattern referred to as the Wrath of Ganga, a phase of aggressive downside movement following the Himalayan peak.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Investor Outlook: Mixed Signals Ahead</h3>
With the weekly chart suggesting a Nirvana move is structurally in place, and the monthly chart implying that a peak may already have formed, Fiserv is at a technical and psychological crossroads.
Adding to this complexity is a recent investigation into potential federal securities law violations. While JPMorgan remains overweight on the stock (with a lowered price target), and Morgan Stanley maintains a similar stance, the uncertainty continues.
Investors should closely watch the $125.05 level, which marks the Phase 10 high on the monthly chart. If this level holds or breaks decisively, it could help confirm whether the current action is indeed a correction or the beginning of a larger move.
Clarity should begin to emerge by December 21, 2025, when the first tranche of weekly Phase 18 completes.

Fiserv At A Crossroads: Clarity Expected By Late December

YouTube cofounder Steve Chen warned parents against allowing children to consume only short-form content, citing concerns about diminishing attention spans and addictive design elements that could impact cognitive development.
What Happened: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if I want my kids to be watching like short-form content as their only way and they can&#8217;t be able to watch something that&#8217;s more than 15 minutes in length,&#8221; Chen said during a Stanford Business School talk published Friday. 
The former Chief Technology Officer helped launch YouTube in 2005 before Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) owned Google acquired the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41616337/google-bought-youtube-for-1-65b-and-now-it-prints-50b-in-revenue-just-in-1-year-sundar-pich">platform for $1.65 billion in 2006</a>.
Chen&#8217;s comments carry significant weight as YouTube now generates $50 billion in combined <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41616337/google-bought-youtube-for-1-65b-and-now-it-prints-50b-in-revenue-just-in-1-year-sundar-pich">advertising and subscription revenue</a>, representing a massive return on Google&#8217;s initial investment. The platform competes directly with TikTok and Meta Platforms Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Instagram Reels for user engagement.
&#8220;I think TikTok is entertainment, but it&#8217;s purely entertainment,&#8221; said Chen, who moved to Taiwan in 2019. &#8220;Just shorter form content equates to shorter attention spans.&#8221;
During the talk, Chen mentioned that some parents are intentionally steering their children toward long-form content while avoiding videos with flashy visuals and &#8220;addictive eyeballs,&#8221; recognizing how easily such content can get kids hooked.

That&#8217;s It&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: A 2022 survey shows that Gen Z users spend over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/12/30065546/gen-z-users-want-short-form-content-spend-4-hours-on-social-media-daily-like-superheroes-wh">four hours daily on social media</a>, with 71% preferring content under 30 minutes. 
Chen suggested implementing age-based daily access restrictions, noting the &#8220;delicate balance between what is going to get users&#8217; eyes and what&#8217;s going to monetize more versus what is actually useful.&#8221;
His warnings come as Amazon.com Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Twitch <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38541148/amazons-twitch-launches-short-form-video-platform-to-challenge-tiktok-as-chinese-platforms-future-re">launched short-form features in 2024</a> and TikTok faces U.S. regulatory challenges, creating market opportunities for established players like YouTube to capture shifting user <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/social-media/25/07/46310388/kevin-oleary-torpedoes-trumps-tiktok-deal-claim-we-dont-have-a-seller">engagement patterns</a>.

INmune Bio Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INMB#NASDAQ">INMB</a>) stock surged by 24.72% in after-hours trading on Friday. The company announced a novel selective soluble TNF inhibitor, which is likely to have influenced the stock&#8217;s performance.
Check out the current price of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/INMB"> INMB stock here</a>.&nbsp;
What Happened: The stock of the Florida-based biotechnology company closed at $2.71 on Friday, down 2.52%, before rising to $3.40 in after-hours trading.

INmune Bio revealed that additional analyses from its Phase 2 MINDFuL trial, which evaluates XPro, a novel selective soluble TNF inhibitor, will be presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) in Toronto, Canada.
The presentation is scheduled for Tuesday, July 29. The trial is a double-blind, Phase 2 proof-of-concept study examining the potential of XPro to slow cognitive decline in early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD) by targeting neuroinflammation.
Dr. CJ Barnum, Vice President of CNS Drug Development at INmune Bio, said, "We are encouraged by the promising findings of the MINDFuL trial, which highlight the potential of XPro to address neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease."
Why It Matters: The stock of INmune Bio Inc. has been through a rollercoaster ride in the past month. It was downgraded by Scotiabank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNS#NYSE">BNS</a>) to ‘Sector Underperform' and BTIG to ‘Neutral' on July 1. However, Maxim Group maintained a ‘Buy' rating on the stock on July 2, albeit lowering the price target to $8. Following this, the stock also saw a surge in share price on the same day.
After its Phase 2 Alzheimer's trial missed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/06/46173089/alzheimers-setback-hits-inmune-bio-stock-but-fda-hopes-remain">primary endpoint</a>, INmune Bio's stock had dipped earlier.
Despite these fluctuations, the company&#8217;s latest announcement seems to have had a positive impact on the stock, with a significant increase in after-hours trading.
Price in Action: According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/INMB">Benzinga Pro</a> data, INmune Bio gained $0.69 to reach $3.40.

INmune Bio Rebounds Sharply During After Hours Trading: What's Driving the Surge?

Alibaba Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) Cloud pioneer Wang Jian has pushed back against the buzz around artificial general intelligence (AGI) and artificial superintelligence (ASI), arguing that such labels oversimplify the nuanced growth of AI systems.
What Happened: In an interview with Bloomberg's Annabelle Droulers, released on Monday, Wang dismissed popular AI classifications as misleading.
"Certainly, I don&#8217;t like this kind of classification," he said. "AI is AI. The only thing we could say is that we have AI to superior—whatever you call superior. It just means you get more capability. That&#8217;s it."
Wang compared AI development to human growth, suggesting it's a continuum rather than a set of defined stages.
Even for human growth, from kindergarten to Ph.D., it's just a continuum, he said. "Certainly, your capabilities grow," but it's very hard to call that a fundamental difference.
When asked about the push toward humanoid robots and embodied AI, Wang urged a clear distinction between robotics and artificial intelligence. "Robotics is a different field… AI provides a different engine for robotics."

Why It's Important: Wang's remarks come amid a global debate on how to define and regulate advanced AI systems.
AGI refers to an AI system capable of performing any intellectual task a human can do, with the ability to learn, reason and adapt across diverse domains.
On the other hand, ASI goes a step further—it&#8217;s a hypothetical form of AI that surpasses human intelligence in all areas, potentially reshaping society in profound and unpredictable ways.
Several prominent tech leaders have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46653274/altman-compares-ai-benchmark-hype-to-the-intel-amd-megahertz-race-says-its-time-to-think-like-apple">shared their predictions</a> on when AGI might emerge. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previously remarked that AGI could arrive during Donald Trump's presidency.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin anticipates AGI could be developed before 2030, while DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis offered a more conservative outlook, expecting it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45599346/why-googles-demis-hassabis-disagrees-with-co-founder-sergey-brin-on-when-agi-will-arrive-and-sets-a-much-higher-bar">shortly after 2030</a>.

Alibaba Cloud Pioneer Says He Doesn't Like AGI, ASI Classifications: 'It Just Means You Get More Capability. That's It'

Japan's top negotiator is pushing back against claims that the country is handing over hundreds of billions of dollars to the U.S. under a new economic deal with the Trump administration, clarifying that actual investment will make up just 1% to 2% of the $550 billion agreement.
What Happened: On Saturday, Tokyo&#8217;s Chief Negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, said in an NHK interview that &#8220;it's not that $550 billion in cash will be sent to the US,&#8221; but instead it includes a combination of investments, loans, and guarantees backed by the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) and Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (NEXI).
According to Akazawa, &#8220;investment will comprise 1% or 2%&#8221; of the total, and the rest will be structured as loans and guarantees, according <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-28/japan-expects-only-1-2-of-550-billion-us-fund-to-be-investment">to</a> a Bloomberg report.

For the loans, Japan will collect interest payments, and for the loan guarantees, &#8220;if nothing happens, Japan will collect fees,&#8221; Akazawa said. &#8220;For that part, Japan's just making money.&#8221;
Tokyo expects to save about ¥10 trillion ($68 billion) from reduced U.S. tariffs under the new deal, even as it agreed to a smaller share of the profits. 
&#8220;By letting the US have 90% of the profits rather than 50%, I think Japan's loss will be at most a couple of tens of billions of yen,&#8221; Akazawa said. Addressing public criticism, he said, &#8220;people are saying various things, such as ‘You sold out Japan,' but they're wrong.&#8221;
Why It Matters: This is in sharp contrast to President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46562556/trump-says-550-billion-trade-deal-with-japan-reached-that-will-create-thousands-of-jobs-there-has-never-been-anything-like-it">framing of this deal</a>, with claims that it &#8220;will create Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs.&#8221;
In a Truth Social post last week, Trump said, &#8220;Japan will invest, at my direction, $550 billion dollars into the United States, which will receive 90% of the Profits.&#8221;
