Mirror trade laws. If Japan makes it a pain to export cars to them, fine. Make it a pain for them to export cars to us. Thing is, they need America to buy Japans (or Korean or German) cars a lot more than America (or Canada) needs those cars. Our plants could make up for the gap, but there isn't another market that will buy 1,000,000 Toyota's each year. Oh, and take measures to stop the influx of foreign assembly plants too so that the gap is made up by domestic automakers as opposed to Honda Canada or Kia Motors America. Sure they create jobs , but what does it really help with it forces the closure of a plant in Michigan or Ontario?
