    “If those conditions drastically change and make it impossible for companies to adapt, they will have to consider very carefully how they will go about continuing business here in the UK,” Japan’s ambassador to London, Koji Tsuruoka, told Reuters."

    “They like it here and they are happy being here,” Tsuruoka said. “The only hope that they are now wishing is that they will be allowed to continue to do good business here in the UK.”

    “The Japanese companies that are investing are global operators and they are watching it very carefully,” Tsuruoka said. “If none of the predictability is there, then you cannot plan, so you will have to stop and then consider when things are clear.”

      10% tariffs would do it. I work with Japanese people, don't be fooled by superficial politeness.
