What the f*ck is wrong with you. It's right there in black and white. The negotiation started four years ago but the Japanese held back wanting to include the US. Once Trump was elected, the negotiations raced forward leaving the US OUT of the agreements. It's because of Trump the US will have to pay more and take a hit for any US goods entering their market.Actually it's been four years. And talks stalled until 7 months ago when Trump was elected.Let's go through the mess Donald Trump has created:
1: Trump has ceded the leadership of the Free World to Germany and Russia
2: Trump told the world not to trust this country because our intelligence agencies can't be trusted. They lie.
3: How far will intelligence agencies, who daily, put their lives on the line, continue to do the best job they can protecting this nation while being called liars and other names by their boss?
4: Europe and Japan signed a trade deal covering 30% of the global economy and 40% of total world trade while leaving the US completely out of it.
5: Trump kowtowed to Vladimir Putin while the rest of the world knows Russia interfered with American elections and interfered with elections in many other countries including France and other European countries.
6: Our largest trading partners, Mexico and China, are working out a new trade agreement that leaves out the US.
7: The US is left out of any climate change deals meaning we will be left out of trade agreements base on climate change technology.
8. The US was looked at being less than serious when Trump left his daughter to be his replacement at high level meetings.
Now right away ignorant right wingers will scream "Where are the links?"
Well, this has been reported on and in the news every single day of the meeting. Beside, you guys don't believe what the media says anyway. So as far as the drooling idiots are concerned, none of it ever happened. Guess we'll just have to wait and see, won't we?
I'm going to address one of your ignorant statements, which is number 4. You're not worth the effort on any more. Oh, and I have a link. My bold.
The 18th round of negotiations on a Free Trade Agreement between the EU and Japan took place in Tokyo in April 2017. Both sides work to conclude the negotiations in 2017.
A Sustainability Impact Assessment (SIA)of the EU-Japan FTA was carried out for the European Commission and was published in 2016.
The EU-Japan Free Trade Agreement negotiations were officially launched on 25 March 2013, after the release of an impact assessment of the future Free Trade Agreement in July 2012.
A Strategic Partnership Agreement between the EU and Japan is being negotiated in parallel with the Free Trade Agreement.
Japan - Trade - European Commission
Now all you need is for an adult to explain that the deal has been in the works for 5 years, and Trump has been in office less than 7 months. Then you can go back to your safe space and play dough.
.
Japan and Europe counter Trump with colossal trade deal
Talks over the deal have stretched over more than four years, in part because Japan was more focused on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a 12-country trade deal that included the United States. But after Trump’s election last year, negotiations between Japan and Europe accelerated, as the countries saw that the United States might take a new posture on trade, said Goodman.

Oops.
With EU Deal, Japan Sends Powerful Message on Free Trade
The new pact could also strengthen the push for a TPP without its biggest economy. Representatives of the 11 nations remaining in the Asia-Pacific trade grouping are set to meet Wednesday in Hakone, Japan to discuss how to proceed without U.S. participation, which would reduce the economic size of the pact from 40 percent of global GDP to less than 15 percent.
