Japan, China, South Korea align in rebuke of Trump’s auto tariffs

China, Japan, and South Korea made a rare show of public cooperation to combat President Donald Trump’s tariffs on foreign goods.

The countries are looking to offset costs associated with Trump’s steep tariffs on automobile imports, which he announced last week. Japan and South Korea will import semiconductor raw materials from China and Beijing will secure chip products from Japan and South Korea, according to a social media account affiliated with Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.
