Ivanka Calls for Total Embargo After Japan Abandons Trade Pact

Ivanka Trump has introduced the Trading with the Japanese Enemy Act, a hardline Reform bill that would impose a total embargo on all goods traded with Japan. The move carries personal weight: as U.S. Secretary of State, Trump signed the free trade agreement with Japan that Tokyo has now abandoned through its economic assault on American businesses. Supporters say Japan betrayed the very system that gave it access to American markets, then tried to bleed U.S. workers with crushing tariffs. Ivanka’s bill would brand Japan an enemy nation for the duration of the crisis and cut off Japanese goods entirely. “America cannot reward economic sabotage,” one Reform ally said. Critics warn an embargo could deepen the trade war. Backers counter that surrendering to Tokyo after its breach of trust would be national humiliation.
