US SIGNS LIMITED DEAL WITH JAPAN ON AG, DIGITAL TRADE –

The U.S. and Japan signed a limited trade agreement Monday, a deal that would win back benefits American farmers lost when President Donald Trump pulled out of a broader Asia-Pacific pact his first week in office. U.S. farmers have been operating at a disadvantage in Japan since Trump withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement. “This is a huge victory for America’s farmers, ranchers and growers. And that’s very important to me,” Trump said at the signing ceremony. (Associated Press)
