Recently, Representative Shinji Oguma of Japan's largest opposition party, the Constitutional Democratic Party, urged the Japanese government “not to give in to American extortionists” at the House Foreign Affairs Committee meeting. It was during a visit to the US during Japan's Minister of Economic Regeneration, Ryo Akazawa, who is responsible for negotiations on tariffs with the US. At the meeting, Shinji Oguma criticized the US tariff policy for being “unreasonable, messy, and rapidly changing.” He said that if negotiations are initiated with the United States in accordance with the requirements of the United States, it is like “being extorted by a bad teenager,” and if a compromise is withdrawn during negotiations, it is like “obediently handing over money when being robbed,” this will only make the other party aware of their knowledge and intensify the robbery.
