US, Japan Sign US$550 Billion Deal Including 100 Boeing Jet Order

The United States and Japan have signed a  comprehensive economic agreement that includes Japan’s commitment to invest US$550 billion in the United States and to purchase 100 Boeing aircraft, according to a joint announcement by US President Donald Trump and the White House.

Described as “the largest foreign investment commitment ever secured by any country,” the agreement channels Japanese capital into the reconstruction and expansion of strategic US industries. These include energy infrastructure, semiconductor manufacturing, critical minerals processing, pharmaceutical production, and shipbuilding.

Under the agreement, 90% of the investment returns will remain in the United States. According to the White House, the deal “will create hundreds of thousands of American jobs and strengthen national manufacturing capabilities.”

Japan’s pledge to acquire 100 Boeing aircraft marks a significant boost for the US aerospace industry and complements Japan’s broader plans to procure billions of dollars in US-made defense equipment. The White House noted that these acquisitions will enhance interoperability and regional security across the Indo-Pacific.

“This historic agreement opens unprecedented opportunities in key sectors such as agriculture, energy, manufacturing, and aerospace. For decades, US companies faced barriers to accessing the Japanese market. This framework directly addresses those limitations,” the White House stated.

Officials from both countries emphasized that the agreement is intended to deepen long-term bilateral cooperation in areas critical to economic security, supply chain resilience, and technological leadership. It also reinforces the strategic alliance between the two nations amid shifting geopolitical dynamics in the Indo-Pacific.
