Internet reports that the United States imposed a 25% tariff on key auto parts and components effective on May 3. In response, Japan continues to express strong opposition to the US tariff policy. Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said on the 3rd that he regretted that the United States began to impose a 25% tariff on key auto parts that day and would continue to ask the United States to re-examine 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 differences in their positions and no consensus has yet been found. In addition, according to a report by the Japan Broadcasting Corporation on the 3rd, Japan's Minister of Economic Regeneration Ryo Akasawa is returning to Japan after concluding the second round of US-Japan trade negotiations and briefed reporters on the negotiations at the airport. Ryo Akasawa said that Japan expressed concern about the tariffs imposed by the United States on automobiles, auto parts, steel and aluminum, as well as the so-called "reciprocal tariff" policy, and will continue to strongly demand that the United States cancel these tariffs.
