A historical point

In the 80s Lee Iacocca (CEO of Chrysler) complained about the trade imbalance with Japan not buying US cars. He wanted tariffs to punish them.

Japan drives on the opposite side of the road (left side) from the US (right hand) and the US wasn’t building cars for left hand traffic.
