President Donald Trump has pitched an “America First” foreign policy, offering a glimpse into how his administration would handle foreign affairs in Asia. During the presidential campaign and after winning the election, Trump has proposed imposing tariffs on foreign goods and negotiating better trade deals, evoking responses from Japan, China, and various countries. This program addresses U.S.-Japan-China economic relations, focusing on how the Trump administration’s policies will affect economic relations among the three countries. Speakers also discuss Japan and China’s position towards the new administration, how Japanese and Chinese companies plan to respond, and the future of the trilateral economic relations.
