Anthony Esposito says President Trump’s new foreign investment deals — including Japan’s $490 billion investment and Toyota’s $10 billion for U.S. auto plants — are a “huge deal.” He argues these investments are part of a broader strategy to reduce trade deficits, attract capital back to the U.S., and strengthen alliances with like-minded nations focused on “nation saving” rather than “nation building,” such as Japan, Poland, and Hungary.
On China, Esposito believes a U.S.-China trade deal will come together gradually, starting with smaller agreements like soybeans and tariffs before addressing major issues such as fentanyl, Taiwan, and energy ties with Russia. He credits President Trump for positioning the U.S. strongly through recent rare earth deals with Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, and Australia.
