White House Previews Unfair Trade Practices countries use against america: 700% Tariff from Japan on American Rice

[StatesRightsForever]

Tariffs have been used for centuries. The CCM tells the public that trump has started a trade war but the truth is he is simply fighting back.

april 2 2025 The White House shared a clip of press secretary Karoline Leavitt laying out some of the unfair trade practices America already faces. "If you look at the unfair trade practices that we have — 50 percent from the European Union on American dairy, you have a 700-percent tariff from Japan on American rice, you have a 100-percent tariff from India on American agricultural products,” she said, listing some of the realities.

“You have nearly a 300-percent tariff from Canada on American butter and American cheese. This makes it virtually impossible for American products to be imported into these markets, and it has put a lot of Americans out of business and out of work over the past several decades,” Leavitt continued, explaining that it is time for “reciprocity.”

"Capital Economics: if today's announcements are implemented, the effective US tariff rate will shoot straight past the Smoot-Hawley levels of the 1930s. "The effective tariff rate on all imports will rise from 2.3% last year to around 26%, leaving it at a 131-year high"

So let's say Japan lowers their tariffs. What forces Japanese consumers to buy American? How much rice do Japanese rice farmers sell to the US?

Congress could stop this ASAP. Trump thinks he can implement tariffs like they are pardons.

I think you're right. Congress has authority to institute tariffs not the president.

Well, that’s not very rice.

Japan's machine tool industry is the real 'trojan horse'.

Nothing but it will make it cheaper for Americans to buy Japanese rice

A lot, because we don't tax it at 700%.

It could import more but rice is a cultural symbol there. There's certain types of rice used with certain types of dishes. There's no expectation that they'd consume more rice just because there's a competitor.

That won't work either. The japs need us more than we need them. Hell - we don't need them at all.

Not much. Japanese rice is very expensive in the US compared to American-grown rice or even imports from SEA. More competition for domestic rice sales in Japan would put the industry out of business altogether. Japanese rice is much, much better, but people will buy what they can afford.
