The Japanese government expressed its disappointment with the situation, as the country will not be exempt from tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on steel and aluminum. According to a representative of the Japanese government, they will continue to study the situation and interact with American officials to achieve the removal of the tariffs. "We believe that universal measures should be applied within the framework of the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO)," the representatives noted in Tokyo. The introduction of tariffs on steel and aluminum for Japan has become one of the unpleasant surprises in the conversations between the two countries, thanks to their close economic partnership. Japan was added to the list of countries deprived of exemptions from new tariffs.
