Kanda, a small town in Japan, faces anxiety due to President Trump's newly imposed 25% tariffs on car imports. The local economy is significantly reliant on a Nissan factory that employs over 4,000 workers and produces a substantial number of vehicles for the U.S. market. Residents are worried about the potential financial fallout these tariffs could bring, as they are unsure about the duration of the tariffs and the likelihood of negotiations. Local leaders emphasize the severe impact on the community without Nissan's presence.
Without Nissan, Kanda's financial situation would become really severe, said Hironori Beppu, a councilor at Kanda's chamber of commerce.
The town's lifeblood is a sprawling car factory owned by Japan's Nissan Motor.
Most important, how long will the tariffs stay in place? Or will the Trump administration be willing to negotiate?
Residents of Kanda are anxious about the 25 percent tariffs he declared on car imports to the United States.
