US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a steep tariff of up to 35% on Japan if a trade deal isn’t reached by next week. This comes as current tariffs on Japanese exports are set to expire, raising concerns over escalating trade tensions.
The proposed tariffs would significantly impact Japan’s economy, which is already facing a 10% levy on most exports to the US. Trump expressed skepticism about reaching an agreement, while Japan’s officials remain tight-lipped. Analysts warn that prolonged negotiations could harm both economies and disrupt global markets.
