Japanese PM: We 'cannot accept' US auto tariffs

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says his country "cannot accept" potential U.S. auto import tariffs being considered by the Trump administration.

"It's hard for Japan to understand and we cannot accept it," Abe said in a session of the Japanese parliament, according to NPR.

Trump has instructed Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to investigate whether auto imports pose a national security risk to the U.S. The investigation lays the groundwork for the administration to use a law to raise tariffs up to 25 percent on imported auto parts and vehicles.

Abe, who is set to meet with Trump on June 7 in Washington, said he would make Japan's concerns known and called for trade discussions under World Trade Organization rules.

Banzai. The prices at the pump and at the grocery store alone are killing most Americans. The economy certainly is NOT booming bc the "employment rate" is down. Even he's on record admitting the jobs indicator and Wall St don't tell the tale of poverty in the USA.

3. These tariff decisions have the stink of Putin on them.

What better way to make Russia the pre-eminent superpower than to bring the American economy to it's knees?
