Japan is expressing concerns regarding President Trump's newly imposed auto tariffs, which conflict with commitments made under a 2019 bilateral trade agreement. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba reaffirmed Japan’s commitment to the agreement despite the looming tariffs. The 2019 deal—negotiated by then-Prime Minister Shinzo Abe—does not pertain to auto trade but included assurances against additional tariffs on Japanese vehicles. Japan’s finance minister plans to meet with U.S. officials to discuss the economic implications and maintain diplomatic relations amid these new tariffs.
Japan has grave concern over the consistency between the tariffs and the 2019 bilateral deal. We will continue to convey our stance to the U.S.
Despite the introduction of President Trump's tariffs, Japan remains committed to the 2019 trade agreement, highlighting the importance of consistency in bilateral relations.
