In response to the Trump administration's introduction of reciprocal tariffs and the imposition of an additional 25% tariff on automobiles in the United States, the prefecture announced on the 3rd that it would establish a countermeasures council consisting of 18 organizations, including the national government, economic organizations, and financial institutions.
The council will hold its first meeting at the prefectural office on the 9th, and is scheduled to compile measures to resolve the issues and requests to the national government by June.
At a regular press conference on the 3rd, Governor Yamamoto Ichita said, "These tariff measures will have a major impact on the Japanese economy. Because the automobile industry in the prefecture is widespread, we would like to assess the situation, discuss the impact, and consider countermeasures as soon as possible."
