WASHINGTON DC - The Trump administration imposed new additional tariffs on Japan and 59 other countries and regions at 1:01 p.m. Japan time, shortly after President Donald Trump praised Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto during a White House ceremony honoring the Los Angeles Dodgers. Trump singled out Ohtani for praise, saying, "Shohei Ohtani, he is incredible, truly incredible." After honoring the Japanese players, however, the administration proceeded with additional tariffs affecting Japan. Japan faces an additional tariff rate of 12.5%, although the measures include relief intended to ensure that the combined rate, including existing tariffs, does not exceed 12.5%. The Trump administration imposed a 10% tariff on imports from around the world in February under Section 122 of the Trade Act.
