So, Japan, again, following US orders. When will Japan become a sovereign state again and have an independent foreign/trade policy? The US has sanctions on 30 countries and rising. Beware, maybe Japan will be the next in their sight.

zichi, 7 to 9 percent is not small. Will the US reimburse Japan for the higher cost of the crude oil? No of course not, trump is taking the bread right out of our mouths! If there is not enough crude available to Japan, do you remember the last time America cut off crude oil to Japan? History keeps repeating itself...
