The agreement on US-Japan tariffs may indicate that the US is nearing the end of its tariff negotiations in the Asia-Pacific region. With Japan secured, South Korea is left "alone and unsupported." What Trump actually needs to do is quite simple: set high tariff targets and then slow down the imposition of tariffs through negotiations, with the aim of opening up the markets of the countries involved in the tariff negotiations. The goal is to turn the US trade deficit into a surplus, and in doing so, the smaller allies will also be "grateful," referring specifically to the Philippines. Japan actually wants to break free from the US to achieve economic independence, but unfortunately, without military sovereignty, economic independence is unattainable. Thus, Shigeru Ishiba has become the scapegoat. Recently, Ishiba's approval ratings have plummeted significantly, mainly due to the rebound of inflation in Japan, leading to a sharp decline in the support rates of the two ruling parties. In this round of trade negotiations, Ishiba stated that Japan sacrificed its agriculture in exchange for a reduction in US tariff quotas, while the 50% tariffs on automobiles and steel still remain. In the future, Japan's inflation is bound to rebound further, posing an even greater threat to the government's rule. Therefore, the best solution may be to use Ishiba as a "sacrifice" to quell public anger. The next focus of negotiations will be on the Asia-Pacific region, including South Korea, Thailand, and India, as well as major allies like Australia and Canada. Besides China, Europe is a key focus of Trump's trade negotiations this time! After all, it is essential for future major US exports.
