Detroit automakers object to Trump's trade agreement with Japan
The trade group representing the traditional Big Three US automakers is objecting to the US agreement with Japan, saying it would be unfair to American automakers and parts suppliers.
The trade agreement announced Tuesday by the Trump administration would place 15% tariffs on imports from Japan, including autos and auto parts. The American automakers claim that gives Japanese imports an unfair advantage over other imported vehicles, including those assembled in Mexico and Canada by US companies with a significant number of US parts. Most imported cars – including American cars made outside the United States – face a 25% base tariff rate.

The Thai army said the most casualties occurred in Si Sa Ket province, where six people were killed after shots were fired at a gas station. At least 14 people were injured in three border provinces. Relations between the Southeast Asian neighbors have deteriorated sharply since an armed confrontation in May that killed a Cambodian soldier. Nationalist passions on both sides have further inflamed the situation.
