Japan exports rise in January on brisk auto exports to US, but tariff threat looms

Japan's exports rose for the fourth month in January, driven by auto shipments to the U.S., despite President Trump's tariff threats potentially impacting future shipments. Exports to the U.S. grew 8.1%, but those to China dropped 6.2%. With total imports up 16.7%, Japan faced a trade deficit of 2.759 trillion yen.
