Japan is a ‘poster child’ for why we are engaged in a tariff battle around world: Peek #shorts
Well, I think Japan actually is a poster child for why we are engaged in a tariff battle around the world because in fact, uh, President Trump is totally right. They have imposed not only high tariffs on US imports into Japan, by the way, not just on cars, but also agricultural products and so on. Uh, and yeah, they have prospered thereby. uh and and so it’s time to reset the table with Japan, with India, with China, and with so many other countries where we have been at a long-term disadvantage. I think Americans understand this. Uh I think President Trump in term one and also again now has made a very strong case that this is a worthwhile effort, but now the big beautiful bill is in the rearview window. This has to happen. We begin, we’ve been hearing uh for weeks that their trade deals are going to start flowing in. It’s time that we actually began to realize some of those. And I think that Trump is really trying to put the pressure on our trading partners to get to the table, make a deal, sign something into law, and hopefully that will happen over the next two or three weeks.

Japan has a 400% tariff on any rice from the United States.
USJTA Benefits: The USJTA, which came into force in 2020, has provided substantial market access for American food and agricultural products. Over 90% of US food and agricultural imports into Japan are now either duty-free or receive preferential tariff access. This includes products like:
Beef and pork (tariffs reduced or being phased out)
Almonds, blueberries, cranberries, walnuts, sweet corn, grain sorghum, broccoli (tariffs immediately eliminated)
Wine, cheese, ethanol, frozen poultry, oranges, fresh cherries, egg products, tomato paste (staged tariff elimination)
Non-Tariff Barriers:
Beyond formal tariffs, Japan also has non-tariff barriers that can hinder US exports. These include:
Unique Japanese standards: Formal, informal, or de facto standards that differ from international norms.
Prior experience requirements: In some sectors, companies may need to demonstrate prior experience in Japan, which can shut out new entrants.
Regulations favoring domestic products: Official regulations that discriminate against foreign products.
Cultural importance of personal relationships: The strong emphasis on established business relationships can make it challenging for new foreign companies to enter the market.
Auto safety standards: The U.S. has raised concerns about Japan's non-recognition of U.S. auto safety standards as equivalent, and difficulties in establishing distribution and service networks for U.S. vehicles.
Please take a minute and fact-check your news source. You might be surprised.
I doubt there are many Japanese who are dumb enough to buy American vehicles even if there were zero tariffs.
You go boy… Adda boy Luther.!!!!
Yes indeed we do understand! And we are patient. This difference started back after WWll. We won the war and Europe & Japan were a mess. And they needed a break. So we charged nothing in Tariffs. But MANY PRESIDENTS JUST LET IT GO BY AND SCREW THE AMERICAN WORKERS. But President Trump has PUT an END TO THAT! 🎉🇺🇸🎉🇺🇸🎉🇺🇸🎉🇺🇸
Trump 1.0 backed out of the TPP in 2017. Negotiated the USJTA in 2020. We know the rest. Why would anyone negotiate in good faith?
YES, Americans understand this (at least the ones who don't let MSNBC or CNN rot their brains.)
Wow, it gets worse if you use the encyclopedia in your phone like I did,,
Japan has NO tariffs on American cars, no tariffs on any American products,,
Japanese people aren't fond of boats with the steering wheel on the wrong side,, that limits the sale of American cars sold in Japan,,
How is Japan a poster child for tariffs, lady,,
As usual it is everybody except for the USA
President trump understands nothing at international trade oups sorry the art of the deal
Since United States is so smart why don’t you play alone
90 deals in 90 days it is so funny everybody is waiting at the end of 90 days
President trump singed a the deal with Mexico and Canada on his first terms And suddenly it is a terrible deal
Please Fox be more serious and stop your propaganda
Japan negotiates far more fairly compared to other foriegn affairs like the EU.
Cars are regardless cannot be used in japan because how huge they are compared to there own historical streets.
Do you know how small a kei truck is? Its very very tiny.

After WW2 the GLOBALIST Set up a SOCIALIST SYSTEM that Arranged for the WORLD 🌎 to Have All kinds of Goodies at the EXPENSE of We AMERICANS who Pay for the WORLDS 🌎 GOODIES, Can U C if Trump Resets the Tarriff Board their Communist/SOCIALIST system WILL COLLAPSE 😮😂🎉
DonOLD needs to stop being a BULLY and move to Russia
But unlike Canada and Mexico who wouldn't abide by the USMCA, I believe Japan would honor there commitments

Fix or Repair Daily. No thanks.
In tariff wars the world looses. 90 days go by and only 2 sorta kinda deals? Trump is the poster child for bad economic ideas.
You are going down a slippery slope. Countries will not be bullied and will find new trading partners while dropping US products. You will be the downfall for most Americans.
