Japan has reported its exports fell in May as shipments of autos to the U.S. dropped nearly 25% from a year earlier due to higher tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.

TOKYO—Japan’s exports declined for the first time in eight months in May, highlighting the impact of President Trump’s tariffs. Exports, a main engine of growth for Japan’s economy, fell 1.7% in May from a year earlier.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said Japan was being "tough" in trade talks and the European Union had not yet offered what he considered a fair deal, as a team led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stayed at the G7 meeting in Canada to keep working on trade issues after Trump's abrupt early departure.
