Prime Minister Takaichi Stresses Strengthening Japan-U.S. Relations, Conveys Concerns to France Over EU Bill on Japanese-Made EVs
Published
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi referred to the U.S. midterm elections and said, "We want to continue strengthening Japan-U.S. relations." Japan and the United States are important partners in both the economic and security fields. The Prime Minister indicated her intention to value the relationship between the two countries regardless of the election results.
In addition, the Prime Minister conveyed concerns to French President Emmanuel Macron about an EU bill. It has been reported that this bill would exclude electric vehicles (EVs) produced in Japan from its scope. Japanese automakers also export many vehicles to Europe, so this issue is also a matter of great interest to companies.
The U.S. midterm elections are held in the middle of the president's term, and they elect members of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The results are considered likely to affect the direction of U.S. politics and diplomacy. For this reason, the Japanese government is also watching closely for future developments.
The Japanese government's response to the EU bill will continue to attract attention. The outcome of discussions with other countries will be an important point, as it will likely determine what kind of impact there will be on Japan's industry and trade.
