Japan firmly opposes the U.S. tariff negotiation representative's proposal to lower tariffs on cars, steel, and aluminum, taking a very resolute stance.

After making a good start in China, other countries around the world have also realized that you, Trump, are just a paper tiger. Relentlessly backing down will only make you more passive; firmly defending your rights and fighting to the end will bring the benefits you deserve.

Of course, not backing down is based on one's own strength. Dignity exists only at the edge of the sword, and truth only within the range of cannons. Tariffs are essentially guns that are loaded, used for deterrence, and Trump has fired the gun! The bullets that are shot will inevitably invite a counterattack.
