Japan Reiterates It Cannot Accept 25% Car Tariffs From US
(Bloomberg) -- Japan's chief trade negotiator Ryosei Akazawa said the country can't accept the US's 25% tariffs on cars, adding that the Asian nation's automakers produce far more cars in the US than they export to America. US Renters Face Storm of Rising Costs US State Budget Wounds Intensify From Trump, DOGE Policy Shifts Commuters Are Caught in Johannesburg's Taxi Feuds as Transit Lags Mapping the Architectural History of New York's Chinatown Japanese automakers make roughly 3.3 million cars in the US a year, a number that's far larger than the 1.37 million that they ship there, Akazawa told reporters on Thursday before leaving for Washington to hold his seventh round of trade negotiations with US counterparts. The companies have invested more than $60 billion in the US and created 2.3 million local jobs, Akazawa said. 'We have repeatedly explained to the US that Japan's automobile industry has made an enormous contribution to the US economy, and we intend to keep explaining this clearly and seek understanding,' Akazawa said. 'In any case, we consider the 25% automobile tariff to be unacceptable.' The auto tariffs are a sticking point in the bilateral negotiations as Washington focuses on its deficits in the sector, while Tokyo tries to protect its key economic pillar. After six rounds of talks over more than two months, the two sides have yet to come to any sort of agreement over tariffs. Of the 3.3 million cars made in the US, about 300,000 are shipped from the US to other nations, also helping to generate a trade surplus for the US, according to Akazawa. Still, Japan's trade surplus with the US last year stood at ¥8.6 trillion ($59.4 billion), the fifth largest on record. Roughly 82% of the gap was due to cars and car parts. The differential has put the nation in Trump's crosshairs as he tries to reduce US trade deficits using tariffs. Akazawa heads for the US capital after Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and US President Donald Trump last week failed to strike a deal over the higher US tariffs at the Group of Seven summit. As with other nations, Japan faces a combination of across-the-board tariffs and sectoral ones. The former is set to rise from 10% to 24% on July 9 barring a deal while the latter is comprised of a 25% levy on cars and auto parts and a 50% tariff on steel and aluminum. Tokyo has maintained its stance that it will try to settle all the tariff disputes in one go with a package that also addresses sectoral tariffs. Akazawa on Thursday said he will keep in mind the July 9 deadline while he voiced caution over weakening his negotiating position by setting a firm deadline. The tariffs are already hitting the Japanese economy with exports to the US slumping, particularly for cars. The economy is facing a risk of entering a technical recession ahead of an upper house election on July 20. --With assistance from Mari Kiyohara.

Trump picked a horrible time to crush electric cars
Just a few short months ago, American consumers had an appealing off-ramp: electric vehicles. EV sales pushed above 1.3 million vehicles in 2024. The future of cars was increasingly looking like it would be electric. Advertisement But since he took office, President Trump has been methodically stifling the EV market. He has issued orders Get The Gavel A weekly SCOTUS explainer newsletter by columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr. Enter Email Sign Up He wants to gut EV charging infrastructure and has threatened to cancel tax credits that prompted many people to switch to an electric vehicle. He even says he plans to sell the Tesla he bought from former DOGE czar Elon Musk Faced with that hostility and the ever-shifting tariff landscape, Detroit automakers have Advertisement Meanwhile, plans to build EV battery plants — many in red states — are slowing down, potentially threatening future jobs. Even those that survive are shrinking.

Globally, analysts think For now, the main alternative to EVs are gas-powered hybrid-electric vehicles, which are expected to set records themselves this year, in part because Toyota has switched two of its best sellers, the Camry and the RAV4, to hybrids. Advertisement Those past spikes in gas prices have also led to jumps in the popularity of hybrids.

Blacklisted by the U.S. and backed by Beijing, this Chinese AI startup has caught OpenAI's attention
OpenAI is putting a spotlight on an under-the-radar artificial intelligence startup that it believes is on the "front line" of China's race to lead the world in AI — and its not DeepSeek. In a blog post on Wednesday, the company wrote that Beijing-backed Zhipu AI has made "notable progress" in the AI race, as global competition ramps up. Zhipu AI, founded in 2019, has been referred by domestic media as one of China's "AI tigers" — a class of large language model unicorns seen as key to Beijing's efforts to rival the U.S. and reduce its dependence on American technology. While fellow "AI tiger" DeepSeek has received the lion's share of international attention after it released its R1 model in January, OpenAI suggests that Zhipu's expansion outside China and its ties to Beijing deserve more attention. The startup has raised funds from several local governments, according to state media. "Zhipu AI leadership frequently engages with CCP officials, including Premier Li Qiang," OpenAI claimed, pegging the value of state-backed investments in the startup at over $1.4 billion. Zhipu AI reportedly has offices in the Middle East, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Malaysia, and is also running joint "innovation centers" projects across Southeast Asia, including in Indonesia and Vietnam. Those factors could see Zhipu AI playing a key role in China's "Digital Silk Road" strategy, as it offers AI infrastructure solutions to governments around the world. "The goal is to lock Chinese systems and standards into emerging markets before US or European rivals can, while showcasing a 'responsible, transparent and audit-ready' Chinese AI alternative," OpenAI said. Zhipu AI did not immediately respond to a request for comment on OpenAI's statements. However, last week, Zhipu AI Chairman Liu Debing told reporters that the company hoped to contribute China's AI power to the world. These aims represent a threat to OpenAI, which has received Washington's support to promote its foundational models as the world's go-to AI offering. During a visit to the UAE in May, U.S. President Donald Trump announced over $200 billion in commercial deals in the region, including one for building a Stargate UAE AI campus by OpenAI, Oracle, Nvidia and Cisco Systems. It's expected to be launched in 2026. The Stargate Project is a $500 billion AI-focused private sector investment vehicle, announced by OpenAI in January in partnership with Abu Dhabi investment firm MGX and Japan's SoftBank. This month, OpenAI was also awarded a $200 million contract to provide the U.S. Defense Department with artificial intelligence tools, and announced "OpenAI for Government," an initiative aimed at bringing its AI tools to public servants across the U.S. Zhipu is also said to be working with its domestic military, helping China's military to modernize through advanced artificial intelligence, which saw it added to the US Commerce Department's Entity List in January. The company has reportedly initiated preliminary steps toward launching an initial public offering. It has previously been valued at 20 billion yuan ($2.78 billion), according to local media reports.
