US EditionTrump threatens Japan with new tariffs, claiming it won’t buy America’s rice
- On June 29 and 30, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened new tariffs on Japan over unfair automobile trade and Japan's refusal to import U.S. rice.
- This escalation followed months of unresolved U.S.-Japan trade talks regarding 25% auto tariffs, with Japan facing a 24% reciprocal tariff starting July 9.
- Trump emphasized Japan’s large trade surplus and its automotive sector accounting for about 28% of exports to the U.S. last year, while Japan struggles under U.S. tariffs.
- He noted that despite Japan experiencing a significant shortage of rice, the country refuses to import American rice, underscoring ongoing trade tensions.
- The threatened tariffs and deadline suggest increasing trade tensions and potential economic impacts unless Japan negotiates tariff relief by July 9, 2025.
