 Listeners, welcome back to Japan Tariff News and Tracker. The big headline this week is the ongoing impact of the Trump administration’s hefty tariff increases targeting Japanese exports to the United States.

But market access barriers, such as differing safety standards and strong domestic brand loyalty, mean that American car exports have not significantly increased as a result.
