US Lutnick: The Japan deal could be a model for an EU trade deal
- Japanese will finance projects as part of deal. US will choose projects for financing.
- It's equity, loans and loan guarantees. Japan will be the banker, not the operator.
- 15% tariff is right on the edge for producing cars in Japan
- The Japan deal could be a model for an EU trade deal.
- If EU accepts US products and standards, it will move Trump.
- Trump is looking for EU to completely open their market.
Interesting comment about the EU deal but that's something that was already expected I think. It's very unlikely that the EU will accept anything above 20% and the US anything below 10%. So we have this 10-20% range in terms of expectations.
The market might like anything in that range (the lower the better), so we can go on without tariffs uncertainty.
