The U.S. government on Thursday promised to amend a presidential executive order to remove overlapping tariffs on Japanese goods, Tokyo's trade negotiator said, after talks in Washington to fix what he called a "regrettable" oversight.

The US confirmed it would end stacking of universal tariffs on Japan and cut car levies as promised, Tokyo’s top trade negotiator Ryosei Akazawa said after a meeting on Thursday with his counterparts in Washington.

Japan's top tariff negotiator Ryosei Akazawa "strongly" urged the United States to revise the presidential order on the levies at his meetings with top U.S. officials in Washington, the Japanese government said on Friday.

Japan's top trade negotiator Ryosei Akazawa urged the U.S. to swiftly implement measures agreed upon in a bilateral trade deal, including lowering automobile and auto parts tariffs, Japan's government said on Thursday.

Tokyo’s top trade negotiator Ryosei Akazawa urged Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to ensure that an earlier agreed 15% levy on Japanese imports was not also stacked on goods that were already subject to higher tariffs.

The latest White House news is that tariffs on Japan’s imports, including automobiles, have dropped to 15% — as opposed to the 27.5% they were before, per Reuters. Along with this, U.S. automakers will now have fewer restrictions on the Japanese consumer market.
