President Trump’s Japan visit expected to include some uncomfortable car talk
President Donald Trump meets with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe over Memorial Day weekend, just days after his administration said auto imports are a threat to national security.
Japan has a nearly $68 billion trade surplus with the United States, much of it due to auto exports. Trump would like Japan to make more cars here. Japanese carmakers say they’ve already invested about $51 billion in the U.S. Experts say it could be hard for them to do more.
