Japan's Exports to the U.S. Decline for Second Consecutive Month Amid Tariff Impact

Japan's Ministry of Finance reported on February 18 that the country's exports to the United States fell for the second consecutive month in January. According to Jin10, the decline was attributed to the impact of U.S. tariff policies. The data revealed a 5% year-on-year decrease in exports to the U.S., amounting to 1.46 trillion yen. The reduction was primarily driven by decreased exports of pharmaceuticals, automobiles, and metalworking machinery.
