On June 30, it was reported that during an interview with Fox News Channel on the 29th, US President Trump reiterated his dissatisfaction with the Japan-US automotive trade, describing it as unfair to Japan. Trump indicated that he had conveyed this sentiment to the Japanese side, which reportedly expressed understanding. However, he also subtly suggested that he would not budge on the imposition of a 25% tariff on imported cars. These comments underscore the challenging progress of negotiations between Japan and the United States on automotive tariffs.
