Donald Trump threatened Japan with higher tariffs after accusing it of refusing to buy American rice, despite data showing otherwise.
“They won’t take our RICE and yet they have a massive rice shortage. In other words, we’ll just be sending them a letter, and we love having them as a Trading Partner for many years to come,” Mr Trump said in a Truth Social post on Monday, possibly suggesting punitive measures if Japan didn’t increase its rice purchases from the US.
