TOKYO-SABA
Japanese government announced today, Tuesday, a support package worth $15.5 billion to help small and medium-sized Japanese companies cope with the impact of the hefty tariffs imposed by the United States.

Japanese government spokesperson Yoshimasa Hayashi said at a press conference: "The plan, valued at 2.2 trillion yen, will include financial assistance for companies and easing of lending conditions with a state-backed credit institution."
