Trump attacking Japan because they don’t buy Chevrolets . LOL ! Japanese cars ar better and cheaper - THAT’S why they buy their own . Duh !

Not really.

Historically, Japan has protected its home market with numerous non-tariff barriers. And stupid US trade representatives have allowed such to exist for decades. Japan has been so successful at protecting its market that foreign automakers seldom could establish a foothold and most don't try.

Why Don't We Sell More Cars In Japan?

It’s been that way for as long as I can remember. Trump would negotiate a deal opening US autos to the Japanese market under fair trade where they would sell or not.
