Japan's Economy Minister, Ryosei Akazawa, has reaffirmed the country's firm stance in demanding the complete removal of U.S. tariffs on Japanese exports.

This declaration comes ahead of Akazawa's scheduled visit to Washington, D.C., starting April 30, 2025, for a second round of negotiations with U.S. officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. The discussions aim to address the tariffs imposed by the U.S., which include a 25% duty on cars and a 10% universal tariff on various imports. ​Reuters+7AP News+7Nippon.com | Your Doorway to Japan+7Reuters+5Profit by Pakistan Today+5Reuters+5


Despite previous talks where the U.S. administration indicated it could not offer special treatment exclusively to Japan, Akazawa intends to reiterate Japan's request for a tariff review in the upcoming negotiations. ​Reuters+1Investing.com Australia+1
