U.S. and Japan reach new steel tariff deal

According to reports, the United States and Japan have reached an agreement to eliminate additional tariffs on some steel imports. The agreement will come into effect on April 1.

 

Under the agreement, the United States will stop imposing additional tariffs of 25% on a certain amount of Japanese steel imports, with tariff-free steel imports capped at 1.25 million tons. In return, Japan must take effective measures within the next six months to support the establishment of a "fairer steel market" in the United States.

 

Some economists said the cancellation of the Trump administration's tariff policy was in line with the Biden administration's expectations of adjusting geopolitics and trade alliances around the world. The new U.S. tariff deal with Japan won't have much impact on other countries and is actually a relationship compensation in a longer-term trade game.
