Tariff crossfire hits Toyota, Nissan, Ford suppliers in Japan

Japanese auto suppliers like Kyowa face challenges from U.S. tariffs imposed since 2018 on Japanese goods and vehicles.
These tariffs, including a 25% auto tariff, arose amid shifting industry dynamics and intense Chinese competition threatening Japan's auto sector.
Japanese officials and suppliers express concerns about the tariffs raising vehicle prices and harming sales while urging industry restructuring toward electric vehicles.
Toyota pledged to protect its suppliers and maintain customer trust despite uncertainty, while Subaru’s CFO said sharing tariff burdens remains under discussion.
Analysts warn the trade conflict could accelerate consolidation in Japan’s auto industry and exacerbate economic decline if tariffs persist long term.
