"free trade" includes importing rice into Japan and the free flow of good back and forth. Japan has not had "free trade" with any country since the start of time.

"They" can not pay a tariff imposed on imports by the US. The importer (= american companies - american consumers) pay the tariff. It's astounding people STILL don't get it.
Consumers won't pay, they will buy domestic. I think you are the one who doesn't get it

Bring it on. Let's paint the US into their isolationist corner and trade around them.
Good luck with that! While you are at it why not move the UN and Wall Street somewhere else and stop taking US investments and aid..
By the way, charging you what you charge us is NOT isolationist, its reciprocal. Do you know what that means?

Your simplistic MAGA world view is not going to get anyone anywhere.
it has gotten more prosperity in 3 weeks than Biden in 4 years
I'm sure you know that Japan, China, UK, Luxembourg, and Canada are the largest foreign holders of U.S. Treasury securities aka debt holders.
Yes which is why they need the US to success and thus do what the US says. The alternative would be investing in China which nobody trusts.
Tariffs increase the price of imported good but the US DOES NOT NEED TO IMPORT, we do it to have relations with others. The US could be self-sufficient. You think we need Canadian metals or beer?
Tariffs on foreign goods will increase purchases of domestic good, which creates sales and creates jobs.

When there is a crisis everyone begs the US for help (I didn't see anyone else proposing solutions for Gaza or Ukraine until Trump did), but when the US wants fair reciprocal trade suddenly we are fascists.
