WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested to The Wall Street Journal that he will take on Japan next in his fight to cut trade deficits with U.S. trading partners, according to a column carried on the paper's online edition Thursday.

Can't accuse Trump of playing favorites here.
Japan isn't stealing our tech through espionage like China is but they're as bad with restrictions on importing US goods as China, just through different Govt mechanisms of one sided protectionism.
We pretty much gave them our checkbook after WWII as an incentive not to think about rising again and getting even with us for winning.
And they've been screwing us left and right ever since.
