## Resource

Trump’s new trade deal with Japan promises a win for America—but American automakers are sounding the alarm. The 15% tariff on Japanese imports creates an uneven playing field, hitting GM, Ford, and Stellantis hard as they’ve already paid billions in tariffs. These costs will likely be passed to consumers, while climate regulations add to rising operational expenses. Despite opening Japan’s market, U.S. automakers still face deep cultural and design hurdles—Japanese buyers prefer smaller, fuel-efficient cars, making it tough for American giants to compete.
