During President Trump’s visit to Tokyo, Japanese corporate leaders rolled out measures to ease trade tensions. A White House memo said Toyota will import U.S.-built vehicles and open its Japanese distribution network to American automakers—an answer to Trump’s complaint that U.S. cars barely reach Japan, where they account for under 1 percent of passenger sales. Japan’s trade ministry also outlined company investments within a $550 billion package linked to the tariff deal with the Trump administration, spanning AI projects and a nuclear-reactor effort worth up to $100 billion with Mitsubishi Heavy and Toshiba.
