Jin10 reported on April 3 that Trump announced a 24% reciprocal tariff on Japan on April 2. In detail, the United States accused Japan of imposing a 700% tariff on American rice, and given that Japan imposes a "46%" tariff on the United States, a "24%" reciprocal tariff is imposed on Japan. Japan's Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Taku Eto responded on April 3, stating, "Even calculating logically, such a number cannot be derived, and I cannot understand it."
