Japan's Takaichi has asked German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to include Japanese-made electric vehicles in EU trade preferences, while pressing for an overhaul of EV subsidy rules. The request signals Tokyo's push for fairer treatment of its automakers in the European market amid ongoing EU-Japan trade discussions.
