Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said Thursday that his government is considering “appropriate measures” in response to US tariffs on car imports.
US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday 25 percent tariffs “on all cars that are not made in the United States” effective 12:01 am eastern time on April 3.

“We have to think about appropriate measures following this announcement. Naturally, we will consider all options,” Ishiba told parliament.

“Japan has made significant investments and significant job creation, which doesn’t apply to all countries… We are the number one (country) in investment in the United States,” Ishiba added.
