US Japan Trade War Escalates: Auto Tariffs Threaten Economic Relations as Trump Administration Maintains Pressure

Japan’s government has publicly reiterated its stance that higher U.S. auto tariffs are simply unacceptable. According to Kyodo News, Japanese negotiators are pressing Washington to reverse the 25 percent additional tariff on Japanese automobiles, a levy that jumped massively from the long-standing 2.5 percent rate. This change, part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to slash the U.S. trade deficit with Japan, adds to frustration in Tokyo, especially as the 90-day pause on parts of the reciprocal tariffs expires on July 9th. Japan’s chief economic and fiscal policy minister Ryosei Akazawa is spearheading another round of tariff talks in Washington this week, with both sides signaling that car tariffs remain the most contentious sticking point.
In addition to the sector-specific auto tariff of 25 percent, President Trump’s new reciprocal tariff regime introduced in April imposes a baseline 10 percent tariff on nearly all goods imported into the U.S. from Japan, layered with a country-specific tariff of 14 percent, bringing Japan’s total exposure to tariffs as high as 24 percent on many products, according to Kyodo News. Trump instituted a temporary 90-day pause on tariffs above 10 percent for 60 trading partners, including Japan, but unless new terms are struck, those higher rates are set to resume in just over a week.
Japanese officials and major automakers argue that these tariffs come despite Japan maintaining a zero-tariff policy on imported passenger vehicles, which has been in place for decades. WC Shipping reports that, unlike the U.S., Japanese import tariffs on passenger cars are 0 percent. Regulatory standards and consumer preferences, not tariffs, have been the main barriers for U.S. automakers in the Japanese market. This contrast has raised questions in Tokyo about what Washington’s real objectives are and whether a compromise is possible.
Foreign Policy magazine points out that Japanese leaders have called the latest trade moves a national crisis, with Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba telling parliament that his administration is working across all fronts to ease the blow to the country’s critical industries.
Negotiations continue at the ministerial level, and with no breakthrough achieved during the June summit between Prime Minister Ishiba and President Trump, stakeholders are anxiously watching whether a deal can be struck before the temporary tariff pause ends. According to reports from the White House, the U.S. also raised tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, hiking rates from 25 to 50 percent effective June 4th, as part of a broader strategy to protect national security and manufacturing jobs.
