Why are people downvoting this? BarryO found something interesting to present and you're acting like he wrote it. You should be upvoteing things like this.

The down vote shouldn't be used like this. If you disagree with the article write a post about how it's stupid. Don't punish the person who is saying 'Look at this it's stupid'

Btw the article is written by someone who is stupid :-}

Trump Misunderstands Trade, Japan's Trade Minister Says | Time

'(TOKYO) — President Donald Trump’s tariff policies reflect a serious misunderstanding of the importance of free trade and Japanese companies’ contributions to the U.S. economy, Japan’s trade minister said Thursday. '

'Hiroshige Seko, the minister of economy, trade and industry, warned in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press that Tokyo might take action if the U.S. fulfills threats to levy a 25 percent tariff on Japanese auto imports. '

'But he said Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and other Japanese officials have been patiently trying to persuade Trump that Japanese do not products pose a security threat to the U.S.The annual U.S. trade deficit with Japan totaled more than $68 billion last year. '

'The U.S. deficit with China was nearly $376 billion. '

'Trump should not blame Japan, Seko said, because the U.S. deficit with Japan today reflects years of effort by Japan to create thousands of jobs in the U.S., many of them lucrative in the auto industry, and become a major investor in the U.S.Seko said tariffs imposed on Japanese exports of steel and aluminum, which have already kicked in, are expected to have a minimal impact on Japan because only a tiny fraction of those exports goes to the U.S. '
