Japan PM Noda delays decision on trade pact

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

TOKYO — With Japan’s ruling party still divided over a controversial regional free trade deal, Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda on Thursday delayed his decision on whether Japan should commit to the pact. Noda will wait until Friday to announce Japan’s intentions. Joining the U.S.-backed Asia-Pacific free trade agreement could transform the world’s third-largest economy, slashing tariffs, allowing for cheaper imports and giving new opportunities for struggling exporters.

U.S. economic recovery tied to European debt crisis

Friday, September 30th, 2011

The political intrigues in Brussels and Berlin over Europe’s debt crisis are as foreign to most Americans as the languages spoken there. U.S. exports to Europe don’t even amount to a fiftieth of what Americans produce. And American banks have at best a modest toehold in the European countries facing possible default.
