U.S.-Japan Trade Talks Stall Over Auto and Steel Tariffs
Trade negotiations between the U.S. and Japan have reached an impasse as DEEP divisions persist over American tariffs on autos and steel. Economic Revitalisation Minister Akazawa reiterated Japan’s demand for tariff elimination but emphasized the need for a mutually beneficial agreement. The outcome remains uncertain as Akazawa prepares to meet U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in Washington next week.
Market participants are closely watching the talks, as prolonged trade tensions could disrupt supply chains and impact global economic sentiment. While no direct cryptocurrency implications are evident, geopolitical trade risks often drive volatility in risk assets, including digital currencies.
