Good thread on why the EU backed down from its maximalist position to get basically the same deal as Japan (and, by extension, why Japan backed away from its own maximalist position).
1/ If you target me with tariffs, that's bad for your consumers who have to pay more to buy my products, and it's bad for my producers who will probably sell you fewer things.
For my government, the negative impact on your consumers is irrelevant unless it changes your behaviour.
