Tokyo says Trump tariffs may contravene WTO rules and Japan-US treaty

Japan said Thursday that U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping global tariffs may contravene World Trade Organization (WTO) rules and the two countries' trade treaty.

"We have serious concerns as to consistency with the WTO agreement and Japan-U.S. trade agreement," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi told reporters.
