TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan is considering banning exports of luxury cars to Russia, perhaps as soon as next week, as it toughens sanctions against Russia following the invasion of Ukraine, the Kyodo news agency said on Friday.
Japanese automakers such as Toyota Motor Corp and Mazda Motor Corp have suspended factory operations in Russia and halted imports of vehicles into the country following the invasion, which Russia calls a “special operation”.
