Japan says it has asked the US to exclude it from 25% steel and aluminum tariffs

Japan has formally requested that the United States exclude it from the reinstated 25% tariffs on steel and 10% tariffs on aluminum, which were reimposed by President Joe Biden's administration. These tariffs, originally set by former President Donald Trump, were lifted in 2021 but have been reapplied due to ongoing trade disputes and national security concerns. Japan's request comes as part of broader negotiations to address trade imbalances and ensure fair competition. The U.S. has been engaging with allies to discuss these tariffs, aiming to protect domestic industries while navigating international trade relations. The outcome of Japan's request remains uncertain as discussions continue.
