トランプトランプ氏し 関税かんぜい措置そちの大統領だいとうりょう令れいに署名しょめい 日本にっぽんは15じゅうご％ 7日なのか後ごに発動はつどう

The White House announced on the 31st that President Trump had signed an executive order setting new tariff rates for various countries and regions, including Japan.

The tariff rate for Japan has been set at 15% as agreed in the Japan-U.S. negotiations, and the new tariff measures will take effect seven days after this executive order.

The Trump administration, in April of this year, imposed a uniform 10% tariff on all countries and regions. However, regarding reciprocal tariffs targeting countries and regions with large trade deficits, the measure was temporarily suspended for 90 days until July 9 on the same day it was implemented, due to turmoil in the financial markets and other factors.

After that, President Trump extended the suspension deadline to August 1 and published a letter stating that after the 1st, new tariff rates would be set for each country or region, and that Japan would be subject to a 25% tariff.

The White House announced on the 31st that President Trump had signed an executive order establishing new tariff rates for various countries and regions, including Japan.

The tariff rate for Japan is set at 15%, as agreed in the Japan-U.S. negotiations last week, and the new tariff measures will take effect seven days after this executive order.

It is not clear whether the additional 25% tariff on automobiles will be reduced to 15% along with the existing rate.

Currently, a uniform tariff of 10% is imposed on countries such as Japan, but tariff rates will be raised in many other countries and regions, leading to increased concerns about inflation in the United States.

On the other hand, there are concerns that for each country as well, the increased costs from tariffs in the United States—the worlds largest market—will further impact their economies.

We need to thoroughly communicate the details of the agreement and our domestic response as the government, in order to dispel public anxiety, he said.

We believe that tariffs on automobiles and other products will also be reduced, but we would like to work with the American side to mitigate the impact on the automobile industry.

We are currently scrutinizing the contents of the executive order within the government, but we will also seek, through various channels, to ensure that the agreed measures regarding additional tariffs on automobiles are implemented promptly, he commented.

The handling of tariffs on automobiles, which are a key industry in Japan, has not yet been clarified, so we will continue to request that reductions are implemented reliably.

President Trump stated in a post on his social media that he had a phone conversation with President Sheinbaum of Mexico, and that they agreed to extend the current deal by 90 days.

They will maintain the current principle of a 25% tariff rate on imports from Mexico, while continuing negotiations with the aim of signing a new trade agreement.

President Trump had announced that he would raise the tariff rate on imports from Mexico to 30%.

Regarding this, President Sheinbaum stated at a press conference on July 31, We have reached the best possible agreement within our means compared to other countries.

In the new international order since President Trump took office, we are in a very good position, he said, expressing his willingness to continue discussions with the United States.
