Japan presses US to lift auto tariffs in wake of trade deal with UK

Japan’s prime minister on Sunday reaffirmed Tokyo’s demand that the US remove its 25% tariffs on automobiles after it made a similar deal with Britain, Jiji Press reported.

Shigeru Ishiba’s comments came days after US President Donald Trump agreed to end 25% tariffs on British steel and aluminum and cut car tariffs from 27.5% to 10% for most UK vehicle exports.
