These efforts aim to overcome unique challenges within the country's business environment, from complex bureaucratic processes to language barriers.

Did you know that #Japan is the top source of foreign direct investment (#FDI) in the United States? That’s right – the U.S.-Japan alliance is stronger than ever, and so is our #trade and #investment relationship. Japanese FDI helps support nearly 1 million U.S. jobs, invests $12.6 billion in innovative #R&D, and expands U.S. #exports by nearly $75 billion. Last week, the U.S. Department of Commerce hosted #Keidanren (the Japan Business Federation) for a meeting with the International Trade Administration (ITA), led by Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Global Markets and Director General of the U.S. Commercial Service Arun Venkataraman. ITA and Keidanren members discussed the state of bilateral trade and investment, how the Japanese private sector can take advantage of the U.S. #CHIPS Act and #InflationReductionAct, and how our countries can work even closer together and foster business environments to ensure that the U.S. and Japanese economies remain resilient and competitive.
