President Trump and PM Abe Sign New Market Access Agreement.
The new agreement slashes tariffs and opens new markets to $7 billion in U.S. agriculture. Additionally, the deal reduces barriers on the $40 billion of digital trade between the two countries.
Note: This is an original edit that edited a 15 min down to 2:20 so we can pass it around. I had to remove Abe and his translator's comments (sorry Abe) as well as part of the applause. It contains everything Trump said at the signing.

The claim by @atiku is a mischievous attempt to grab the headlines. Nigerians need to know that one of the resolutions of the Atiku team at their recently-concluded Dubai retreat was to embark on scaremongering. This is one of such.
For the records, all incoming passengers on international flights go through customs, Immigration, health and security screening.
