But we already have costco… and we Asians dun eat or consume like american consume and eat. Morever, the local stuffs here are far more better than the Americans.
If the U.S. businesses would do a modicum of research and tried to make their products match the Japanese market, they might sell more.
How does one drive a car that’s wider than the road?
Where is one supposed to store kingsize bags of snacks and cases of drinks in a 1dk?
Lets import american junk go export to Hawaii
Trump is focused on US automobile imports to Japan. Has he not seen how small Japanese roads are? Ford gave up on the Japanese market in 2016. They only have a couple vehicles that are small enough to be considered practical in Japan. GM only sells ONE Chevy over there, the Corvette. Caddy is their biggest presence over there. You can even buy an Escalade in Japan. The Yakuza need cars after all. Stellantis only has one US brand in Japan, Jeep. All of their other offerings are built mostly in the EU. BTW, side note, I was kinda surprised by how many Jeep Wranglers I saw in Japan. Unsurprisingly, Tesla might be the biggest benefactor here. They sell their full lineup in Japan, including the Cybertruck.
None of these manufacturers could build Kei cars in the USA for import to Japan. They wouldn’t be able to make a profit.
IMO, Trump would have more success if he focused on agricultural trade barriers.
“Buy more of our shit or we’ll fuck your shit up.”
America is run by a criminal mafia.
Convicted felon and rapist in their biggest chair.
As a Canadian in Japan I’ve backed off of buying all American goods. The overall quality of Japanese goods is superior to American goods and I hope the Japanese people will respond as others have around the world and stand up to America. It’s a complicated relationship between the two countries, but this might be the chance to start distancing more.
So Trump is solidifying an alliance between S Korea, Japan, & China. Great job
Dude why would Japan want our crap when I’m over here wanting more Japanese awesomeness!
Why would Japan want to import more low quality junk from that shithole country??
Stuff produced locally is generally better quality, stuff not produced in enough quantity locally we get direct from the sources (like Australian meat imports) and and if it’s cheap Chinese junk we need, we can get it directly from the Chinese instead of from China via the USA anyway.
Fuck that orange moron and his band of wannabe Chicago Mob goons.
Good luck with that argument, as Trump as just slapped a 25% tariff on their most profitable export to the U.S.
You can’t force a country to buy more of your stuff they don’t want
Just let me buy Goldfish and Cheezits in Japan please 🙏
No don’t please. Japanese products are way superior and better quality. US products are capitalized to shit and are not worth it. Trump is an idiot.
We can’t even afford stuff made in Japan lol
Make the stuff cheaper and people will buy it no problem
I mean America is using diplomatic and political pressure to make countries buy American products. They do that to Europe, Mexico, Canada, China, Taiwan and probably others as well. Next thing we know they will threaten to withdraw from South Korea if they don’t “buy more weapons” meaning American weapons. Ow wait, too late…
How about start with deodorant.
From the article: “No American president in modern history has recognized the wide-ranging and harmful foreign trade barriers American exporters face more than President Trump,” U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said in a statement.
Good God…it’s one thing to make an official press statement. It’s another to fellate your boss while doing so.
American living in Japan. I drive a Honda. Because that’s what works here. There’s a guy down the street who drives a US-made pickup. Most ridiculous thing on the road.
We have Bad Dragon
Like what is made in the US that gets imported to Japan? California rice? US backed itself into a corner by being mostly a software service country.
us foods are dogshit compared to japanese foods
i hate to say this but japan south korea china alliance need to happen soon
Why would Japan want to import American goods? They are all about healthy lifestyles and most American stuffs are saturated and processed. Also Japan wants to make things affordable for their people hence convenient stores have tons of decently priced point food for QUALITY!
I went to uni in Arkansas… and learned 200 million bushels of rice are harvested each year in Arkansas… Arkansas is number one in rice production in the United States (while China is number one in the world).
Japan’s 700% tariff on imported rice highlights the limits of agricultural protectionism. As part of the Japanese government’s control of rice, some rice imports are banned except in processed forms. Also, because of the disproportionate political power wielded by farmers, rice production is subsidized by the government.
I’m the last person to agree with Felon47, but importing rice into Japan would help… consumers in Japan.
But Trump keeps saying America doesn’t need anyone else…
No one wants to eat american processed food lmao is he out of his mind
I hope Japan remove or lower tariff on California rice.
It may not be sushi grade, but many in Japan seem to accept the quality of CA grown Japonica rice.
Give them choice and let Japanese consumers decide.
Force them to import whatever you want, I won’t buy any crap anyway.
As an American that would love more trade with Japan, American companies have to actually make stuff that Japanese people would want to import. No one there is going to be driving massive pick up trucks, and our food standards need to drastically improve. Slapping tariffs on everything won’t fix this.
Alright attacking japan of all the places has to be the final straw 🤣🤣
As with anything that Trump does it’s off the cuff with zero analysis. Why do producers place 300% tariffs or whatever on US produced goods? For a start production costs for other nations can be excessively higher due to labour costs, shipping, social policy like free medicare, etc. Trump is a fool and I hope Japan and the rest of the world stand firm against this tyranny.
Having been to japan. Aside from some snacks and medicine. Wtf would japan even want from the US anyway. Almost everything in japan is superior to US products.
Per capita Japanese people already consume more American goods than Americans consume Japanese. Does trump not realize population differences are a thing? Ah well, I’m now avoiding American products like the plague, including American businesses where possible. No Amazon, McDonald’s, Google, Twitter, facebook etc. I hope the rest of the free works can now come up with some tech products and datacenters that make all of American tech redundant. Trump isn’t a smart man.
Fuck this shit.
No one wants to buy American garbage, and I’m an American living in the California.
I try my best to avoid American products if I can because its just less healthy and poorer quality. My family has never once owned an American car or a car that is “Made in America”. And Japan shouldn’t either. Besides quality and reliability, the car is just way too big and fuel inefficient for the roads in Japan.
