14.06.2025Day Steel Deal Seals While Rain Falls
Trump formally approved Nippon Steel's $14.8 billion U.S. Steel acquisition after midnight, reversing his previous opposition through a national security agreement that addressed Biden administration concerns. Japanese media reported the breakthrough repeatedly through early morning hours, marking resolution of trade tensions that had persisted through recent weeks of stalled negotiations.

Weather dominated domestic coverage as authorities issued landslide warnings for severe rainfall across regions from Kanto to Kyushu. The Bank of Japan signaled monetary policy adjustments, planning to reduce bond purchase cuts to 200 billion yen quarterly starting next spring.

Commentary on Trump's birthday included criticism describing him as unwanted royalty, contrasting with simultaneous coverage of the steel deal approval. Japan's chief negotiator remained noncommittal about securing broader tariff exemptions during upcoming G7 meetings, despite the steel breakthrough suggesting potential diplomatic progress.
