US and Japan to Share Profits from Joint Investment Projects
US Commerce Secretary Lutnick announced that the initial profits from the US-Japan investment projects will be shared equally. After Japan recovers its $550 billion principal, the profit distribution will change to 90% for the US and 10% for Japan. Lutnick acknowledged that Japan might need to borrow to fund these projects, but he believes that in the long term, if Japan can recover its investment, it will not impose additional costs on Japanese taxpayers. Additionally, Japanese consumers will benefit from lower tariff rates. He considers this a good deal for Japan.
