Chairman Yasunaga’s Comments on the US Presidential Election

November 6, 2024

Following media reports that Donald Trump has won the US presidential election, I would like to wait for the official result, but I respect the choice of the American people.

Japan is the largest overseas investor in the US, and economic relations between our two nations are excellent. I look forward to the new administrations in Japan and the US collaborating closely and building an even stronger partnership.

The JFTC regards the US as a key market and will continue working to strengthen economic relations with the country by taking a measured, steady approach to pursuing business there. We aim to facilitate sustainable growth by contributing to local communities in the US through reciprocal exchanges of personnel as well as investment and job creation. We will forge future-oriented partnerships by cooperating particularly in the digital and energy sectors.
