The Japanese government strongly opposes the US tariff policy and calls for its abolition

The United States imposed a 25% tariff on key auto parts on May 3. In this regard, Japan continues to express strong opposition to the US tariff policy. Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said on the 3rd that it is very regrettable that the United States started to impose a 25% tariff on key auto parts on the same day, and will continue to ask the United States to review the relevant tariff measures. Japan is negotiating with the United States on tariff measures covering products such as automobiles, steel and aluminum. Japan and the United States have different positions and have not yet found a consensus. In addition, according to a report by the Japan Broadcasting Association on the 3rd, Japanese Minister of Economy and Regeneration Akasawa Ryo returned to Japan after concluding the second round of US-Japan trade talks and briefed reporters on the negotiations at the airport. Akasawa Ryo said that Japan is concerned about the US tariffs on automobiles, auto parts, steel and aluminum and the so-called "reciprocal tariff" policy, and will continue to strongly demand that the US cancel these tariffs.
