Japan Can't Accept US's 25% Car Tariffs, Akazawa Reiterates
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.
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 he left 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.

ONDC Independent Director Arvind Gupta Steps Down After Three-Year Term
Gupta's exit follows the recent departures of ONDC's Managing Director and CEO Thampy Koshy, Non-Executive Chairperson R S Sharma, and Chief Business Officer Shireesh Joshi. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Arvind Gupta, an independent director and founding member of the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), has stepped down from his role, marking another high-profile exit from the government-backed e-commerce initiative. Gupta's exit follows the recent departures of ONDC's Managing Director and CEO Thampy Koshy, Non-Executive Chairperson R S Sharma, and Chief Business Officer Shireesh Joshi. ONDC is overseen by a board of directors and an advisory council that includes government nominees, shareholders, founding members, and independent directors. "I was a founding member of ONDC and the first independent director. I completed my three-year term as an independent director and decided not to continue further," Gupta, who is also the head and co-founder of the Digital India Foundation, said in a statement. With Gupta's departure, the ONDC board now has three independent directors remaining: Adil Zainulbhai, Chairperson of the Capacity Building Commission; Anjali Bansal, Founder and Chairperson of Avaana Capital; and Ritesh Tiwari, CFO of Hindustan Unilever Ltd. Meanwhile, ONDC's retail order volume slipped from 4.34 million in April to 4.07 million in May, a 6.2% dip. Logistics orders also fell from 2.41 million to 2.32 million during the same period.
