Trump's taxes may make problems for big companies in Japan, like car companies. This is for things from Japan, and also from other countries like Mexico and Canada. It is hard to plan because Trump changes his mind.
S&P said: Car companies in this area may have to pay more. They may get less money because they sell cars in the US. They make cars in many places.
Companies can have problems. The world economy can change. People may not want to buy things.
Japan's money is not good now. Old people are many, and young people are few. They do not have many babies.

The news says the economy is not strong. So, the bank may not raise rates now.
Some people say: "Lower the tax!" The tax is like sales tax. It can help people.
