Japan on Thursday called for a “free, fair and open” international economic order after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to impose 25% tariffs on Japanese imports.
Speaking during a meeting with foreign ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Kuala Lumpur, Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya reaffirmed Tokyo’s commitment to deepening cooperation with the regional bloc.
Highlighting ASEAN’s growing role in the global economy, Iwaya said the group is “at the center of global growth” and key to regional peace and prosperity.
In response to the planned U.S. tariffs, Iwaya stressed the importance of preserving and strengthening the multilateral trading system, particularly with the World Trade Organization (WTO) at its core.
