Japanese tariff negotiator arrives in the United States to negotiate on reducing car tariffs

According to BlockBeats, on August 6th, according to Kyodo News, Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Development, Ryohei Akazawa, arrived in Washington on Tuesday evening and will demand that US government officials implement the agreement to reduce tariffs on Japanese cars and auto parts as soon as possible. Two weeks ago, Akazawa and US President Trump reached a trade agreement, under which the US promised to reduce the so-called equivalent tariffs on Japanese goods from 25% to 15%. At that time, Trump also agreed to lower Japan's car tariffs to 15% in exchange for a commitment to large-scale Japanese investment in the United States. However, unlike specific country tariffs, it is currently unclear when the Trump administration plans to implement the reduced car tariffs.
