Japan can consider "appropriate means" in response to the definition of 25% customs duties for cars produced outside the United States. During the parliamentary hearings, the Prime Minister of Japan Sheaperu Isryan said during the parliamentary hearings.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump had a new 25% customs duties on April 2. "After the announcement today, I also think it is necessary to think about the relevant funds. As a major investor paying jobs in the United States and paying the highest salary in the United States, it will continue to work with the American government. As an option, Japan's response to customs duties is being considered, "said the Prime Minister.
The opposition MP noted that the increase in customs duties on Japanese cars from the current 2.5% to the first presidential period of Donald Trump is 2.5% in the United States.
As of the end of 2024, the export of Japanese cars in the United States amounted to 6,026 trillion yen (about $ 40 billion), which is 28.3% of the United States's Japanese exports.
