Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said today that “imports of our nation’s automobiles and auto parts have never damaged U.S. national security and will not do so in the future.”
And, he added “trade restrictions will not benefit anyone, and we will keep explaining that to the U.S. and work closely with them to ensure those tariffs are not imposed.”
It seems like Abe only refer to the threat of auto tariffs. The already-in-effect steel and aluminum tariffs are forgotten? Or, are Japanese steel products security threat to the US?
