https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/23/trumps-japan-trade-deal-card-was-altered-by-hand.html谈好了，由大统领手改？
President Donald Trump’s art of the deal seemed to play out in real time on Tuesday.
A card with details of the deal shows discrepancies and last-minute edits, according to photo posted by Dan Scavino, the White House deputy chief of staff.
Trump announced what he called a “massive” trade agreement with Japan over his Truth Social platform Tuesday night, which the president said includes a 15% tariff rate and $550 billion in investments. But the details of that deal on a card on Trump’s desk shows discrepancies and last-minute edits, according to a photo posted by by Dan Scavino, the White House deputy chief of staff.
The card on Trump’s desk displays a 10% tariff, in addition to a 15% levy rate on the automotive, pharma and semiconductor industries. However, Trump said on Truth Social only that Japan would face a rate of 15%, without elaborating.
“Japan will pay Reciprocal Tariffs to the United States of 15%,” Trump wrote.
Below the tariff rate, the phrase ”$400B” appears on the board in large lettering. The number four is crossed out, with “500” written above it.
That seemingly references Japan’s plan to investment in the U.S., as was explained by Trump in his social media post. But Trump used a different figure than even the altered amount, saying in the post that the Asian country would invest $550 billion into the U.S.
It is not clear where the additional $50 billion came from.
