US EditionThreatened by Trump tariffs, Japan walks a delicate tightrope between US and China
- In 2024, Japan is experiencing increased economic challenges as the U.S. Government, under President Trump, introduced a 24% duty on imports from Japan as part of a wider tariff strategy targeting around 90 nations.
- This tariff escalation stems from the Trump administration's America First agenda and escalating U.S.-China trade conflicts, which have intensified Japan's complex diplomacy.
- Japan's chief tariff negotiator Ryosei Akazawa conducted talks in Washington last week, urging U.S. Tariff removals while Japan balances strengthening ties with the U.S. And cautious engagement with China.

- Amid these tensions, Japan maintains its alliance with the U.S. As core to its security while trying to avoid confrontation with Washington and prevent Beijing from exploiting disputes.
