As Trump imposes no exceptions' tariffs, Asian allies hope for a reprieve
Briefly

After President Trump announced tariffs on steel and aluminum without exemptions, key US allies Japan, South Korea, and Australia are initiating negotiations for exemptions. They stress the economic interdependence and strategic relationships they hold with the US. Corresponding measures may include increasing US imports and highlighting the importance of their technological advancements.

Japan, South Korea, and Australia are lobbying the US government for tariff exemptions on steel and aluminum, emphasizing their significant economic ties and strategic alliances.
American allies are concerned about potential reciprocal tariffs from Trump, which could affect a broader range of goods, leading to significant economic repercussions.
