Japan has high tariffs. Maybe now they will drop them on many basic imports like rice and beef so we can sell them some.
Japan doesn’t only have tariffs on rice.
Japan has closed markets.
Just like all our trading “partners” do.
It’s why we run huge deficits. By being schmucks...
When they get hungry enough, tariffs will come down.

rice and beef they already understand ,, most of their rice is imported from Thailand, the Philippines and the USA ,, as far as beef goes their WAGU (kobe) beef is almost exclusively raised here in the USA... it’s the vegetables and fruits that they almost totally block from their markets with tariffs and laws designed to spoil/ruin the imported product such as the rules for apples where they are kept in quarantine until they’re damn near tasteless mush... and their rules about cosmetic imperfections in veggies...
