US President Donald Trump’s tariff war has caused earthquake in the global economy. While the step of imposing 50% tariff on India is being done worldwide, now Japan has also stopped an investment package of $ 550 billion (₹ 4.82 lakh crore) in the US. Japan’s top trade -negotiator Ryosei Akazawa had to go to America to finalize the deal, but he postponed the journey at the last moment.

The US and Japan had already agreed that the US would reduce the duty on Japanese imports from 25% to 15%. Japan will invest $ 550 billion in the US, but recently President Donald Trump said that this is our money, we will invest it on our own free will and claimed 90% of the profits to the US. On this, Japanese officials disagreed and said that investment should be based on the principle of mutual benefits.

Japan’s terms and disagreement
The Japanese government has demanded from the US to amend the President’s tariff order and reduce the fee on auto parts. Overlapping tariffs should be abolished. Japanese spokesperson Yoshimasa Hayashi said that more talks on some issues at the US administrative level are necessary, so the tour was canceled.

Modi’s visit to Japan and strategic significance
This incident has happened at a time when Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi is on a two-day visit to Japan on 29-30 August. He has been invited by Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba to the 15th India-Japan Annual Summit. Important issues like strategic partnership, quad cooperation, and regional security will be discussed in the meeting. International analysts believe that this move of Japan can affect the US-Asia relations and the India-Japan partnership can become even stronger.

International reactions
Western experts have described Trump’s tariff policy as a suicide step. Japanese media Kyodo News said that it is not decided that Akazwa will decide his journey again, while according to the report of Reuters, he can visit Washington next week.

Trump tarifs: The US has imposed an additional 25 percent fee on Indian goods, due to which the total tariff rate has reached 50 percent. However, some Indian goods have been given temporary relief. These goods will not be targeted only when they fulfill certain conditions. For example, if the goods were in a transit before entering the US before (EST) on 27 August 2025 at 12:01 pm (EST), it would not be tariff.

Similarly, if the goods were recorded for consumption before (EST) on 17 September 2025 at 12:01 pm or removed from the warehouse, it would come under the scope of discount. Also, the importer has to prove that the goods are eligible for this exemption and for this the new normal generalized tariff schedule will have to be declared.

Some goods exempted from tariff

Apart from this, some special products are also kept separate from 50 percent tariffs. These include iron and steel, aluminum, copper, passenger vehicles, light trucks and automobile parts.

Rating agency Crisil says that uncertainty over American tariffs can become a major obstacle in the decisions of capital expenditure in FY 2025-26. According to the report, this tariff can affect the notion of Indian corporate investment, even if the financial condition of companies is strong.

Crisil believes that the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) can increase the trust of investors, as they create a stable and predetermined commercial environment by reducing fees obstructions. The report also said that the American fees levied on India are much higher than the fees levied on countries like Bangladesh, Vietnam and Indonesia. Challenges such as increasing geopolitical stress, disruption in global supply chain and high costs at the domestic level are preventing the enthusiasm of private investors.

The distance between America and India has increased. US President Donald Trump is not happy with him. Meanwhile, the response of the Trade Advisor Peter Navaro of the White House has come to light. He has once again justified India. Navaro said that the Ukraine war is getting funding due to India. He directly justified India in the matter of buying oil from Russia.

In an article written for ‘The Financial Times’ on Monday (August 18), the Trade Advisor of the White House accused India of converting the banned crude oil into high -value exports and working as a global clearing house for Russian oil.

Navaro said, ,India’s dependence on Russian crude oil is opportunistic and Putin’s war economy is extremely harmful for the world’s efforts to isolate., They said, ,In fact, India works as a global ‘clearing house’ for Russian oil. The restricted crude oil is converted into more tariff exports and gives Russia the dollar according to its need.,

India accused of supporting Russia in war

Navaro said, ,Russia is constantly attacking Ukraine with India’s financial support, so American (and European) taxpayers are being forced to spend billions and billions of dollars and spending to help protect Ukraine. Due to all these reasons, India is closing the doors of American exports through more tariffs and trade barriers.,

America’s false claim – India takes more tariffs

He has said that India imposes the most tariffs in the world on average. Also, it also raises non-tariff barriers. This causes damage to American workers and companies. ” Navaro said, “As a result, America’s trade deficit with India has reached around $ 50 billion annually. And the biggest thing is that India is using dollars obtained from those American trade to buy Russian oil. ”
