Trump's tariffs confuse allies: Tokyo calls them regrettable and Seoul pledges to expedite negotiations

The decision by U.S. President "Donald Trump" to impose new tariffs on a group of countries, including key allies, has sparked a wave of angry reactions around the world, amid diplomatic efforts to contain the fallout from the decision before it takes effect on August 1.

Japanese Prime Minister "Shigeru Ishiba" stated on Tuesday that the recent announcement of tariffs is regrettable, confirming that negotiations with Washington are ongoing to amend the decision, as Japan is prepared to face a 25% tariff on its exports to the United States, up from the previously announced 24%.

South Korean leaders pledged to expedite tariff negotiations with the "Trump" administration to overcome trade uncertainty, after Washington announced a 20% tariff on Korean imports, the same rate announced in April, according to "CNBC".
