Group 1 - The core issue revolves around Japan's unexpected increase in tariffs from the U.S., which rose from an initial 24% to 25%, despite Japan's efforts to negotiate lower tariffs [1][6] - Japanese politicians and experts misjudged the U.S. intentions, believing that the trade policies primarily targeted China rather than Japan [3][5] - Japan's media emphasized its significant economic contributions to the U.S., arguing that Japan should receive special treatment in trade negotiations due to its status as a major investor [4][5] Group 2 - Japan's trade deficit with the U.S. is significantly lower than that with China, leading Japan to believe it would not be a primary target for tariffs [5][6] - Despite the shock from the tariff increase, Japanese media and public opinion largely expressed understanding rather than calls for retaliation against the U.S. [7][11] - The political landscape in Japan shows a strong pro-U.S. sentiment, with many politicians and officials educated in the U.S., which influences their approach to trade negotiations [8][9] Group 3 - The upcoming Japanese elections may impact the trade negotiations, as any positive outcomes could benefit the ruling party, but current trends suggest the U.S. is not inclined to offer concessions [10][11] - Japanese public opinion prioritizes national interests over national pride, viewing the trade negotiations through a pragmatic lens focused on economic benefits rather than face-saving [11][12]
