PM: No ‘easy compromise’ on US tariffs
Bangkok Post
|July 07, 2025
Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said yesterday he won't “easily compromise” in talks with Washington as Tokyo seeks to avert President Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs of up to 35% on Japanese goods.
-
“We will not easily compromise. That's why it is taking time and why it is tough,’ Mr Ishiba told a television talk show.
His comments came as Japan rushes to negotiate with the Trump administration before the Wednesday deadline for trade deals.
While Mr Trump imposed a sweeping 10% tariff on imports from most trading partners in April, he unveiled — then paused — higher rates on dozens of economies including Japan to allow room for negotiations.
