[7.1 Lithium Battery News] GFEX Accelerates R&D of Lithium Hydroxide and Other Varieties | Trump Says Japan May Pay 25% Auto Tariffs

[Trump Takes Tough Stance on Japan: "Japan May Have to Pay 25% Auto Tariffs"]Reference News, citing Japan's Asahi Shimbun website on June 30, reported that US President Trump stated on June 29 that US-Japan trade is "unfair" and suggested the US might send a letter to Japan indicating "they will have to pay 25% auto tariffs." While the Japanese government has consistently urged cancellation or reevaluation of the 25% US tariffs on imported vehicles, Trump's remarks imply resistance to tariff reductions. The report noted Trump made these statements during a Fox Business interview. The US has been conducting tariff negotiations with major trading partners including Japan, with Trump reiterating letters would be sent to these countries/regions stating: "You can do business in the US, but you'll pay 25%, 35%, or 50% tariffs." He specifically criticized Japan, emphasizing "they don't accept our cars, but millions of their cars enter the US," calling this "unfair." The US currently imposes 25% tariffs on imported passenger vehicles, which Japan has called to eliminate during US-Japan tariff talks, though US reluctance has stalled progress. Trump also stated: "We have a massive trade deficit with Japan, and they know it." He demanded Japan import more US oil and other products, seeking greater concessions. The US has unilaterally set a July 9 deadline for negotiations with Japan and other nations. Despite cabinet members suggesting possible extensions, Trump dismissed this, saying "we could, but I don't see the need," adopting a negative stance toward deadline extensions. (Finance Sina)
