Basically whatever "national" industries have the biggest pull within a negotiating nation is going to come out ahead and the smaller industries/sectors are going to be "sacrificed" to appease the other party (the US).

So for example theJapanese car makers will get a good deal while the Japanese farmers are going to get hosed over. Or for the other trade treaty on the other side of the globe I imagine the European Ethanol producers will get screwed while the European Biodiesel industry might just come out ahead compared to the comparably smaller US one.

I'm sure Economists will hail this as "efficiency", but not so fun when you are in the industry getting hosed over and your university of rice farming degree don't carry over to the Car industry or whatever.
