According to ChainCatcher, informed sources revealed that the United States rejected Japan's request for a comprehensive exemption from the 10% reciprocal tariff in recent negotiations. U.S. officials stated that the Trump administration intends only to reduce the specific country tariff by 14%, which is suspended until early July. The U.S. emphasized that it will only consider extending the 90-day suspension measures or reducing the tariff by 14%. Tokyo is seeking the U.S. to fully cancel reciprocal tariffs, the 25% automobile tariff, and the 25% steel and aluminum tariffs, but Washington refused to negotiate on the global 10% basic tariff or tariffs on automobiles and steel products.
