US EditionTrump threatens Japan with new tariffs, claiming it won’t buy America’s rice
CANADA, JUL 1 – Trump halted trade talks with Canada over its 3% Digital Services Tax targeting U.S. tech firms, threatening tariffs while also criticizing Japan's trade practices and rice import policies.
- On June 30, President Trump threatened to impose 30% to 35% tariffs on Japan if no deal is reached before the July 9 deadline.
- This threat followed months of stalled U.S.-Japan negotiations over 25% auto tariffs and Japan's refusal to accept U.S. rice exports despite a rice shortage.
- Meanwhile, Trump abruptly ended trade talks with Canada on Friday, citing opposition to Canada's Digital Services Tax and its supply management on dairy and poultry.
- A spokesperson for the White House indicated that Trump intends to establish tariff rates for countries that fail to negotiate sincerely, highlighting that, to date, only the UK has finalized a trade agreement with the US.
- These developments indicate increased U.S. pressure on trade partners to finalize agreements before tariffs rise, signaling potential economic tensions with Japan and Canada.
