WSJ '토요타, 급발진 문제 1조원 합의중'
미국에서 급발진 문제로 수사를 받던 토요타가 벌금 10억 달러 (약 1조755억원) 이상을 내고 기소를 면할 전망이라고 월스트리트저널이 보도했다. 토요타는 급발진 결함 문제를 미국 당국에 거짓으로 보고하거나 부실하게 알렸다는 의혹을 받아 4년째 연방 검찰의 수사를 받고 있다. 조안 클레이브룩 전 고속도로교통안전국(NHTSA) 국장은 WSJ과의 인터뷰에서 “형사 제재를 피하려고 안간힘을 써왔던 만큼 이번 협정이 성사된다면 기념비적 사건이 될 것”이라고 설명했다. 토요타는 지난 2009년 미국에서 급발진 논란에 휘말리기 시작해 집단 소송을 낸 원고들에게 우리 돈 1조1000억여원을 물어주고 차량 1만대 이상을 리콜했다.

기시다 후미오 일본 외무상이 7일(현지시간) 미국 워싱턴DC에서 존 케리 미국 국무장관과 면담 후 한•일 관계 회복을 위해 노력하겠다고 말했다. 기시다 장관은 회담직후 공동 기자회견에서 “한•일 관계에서 어려운 문제들이 있지만 한국은 일본의 중요한 이웃국가”라고 말했다. 그는 이어 일본 정부는 “광범위한 견지에서 한국과 협력관계를 구축하기 위해 “꾸준히 노력할 것”이라고 말했다. 그는 “케리 장관과 한국의 비핵화를 위해 3국간 협력이 있을 것임을 동의했다.”고 전했다. 한국과 일본이 영토와 역사문제로 갈등을 겪으면서 미국은 지역안보 문제를 해결하기 위한 3국간의 협력을 추진하는 데 어려움을 겪었다. 미국은 지난 12월 아베 총리의 야스쿠니 신사 참배에 대해서 실망감을 표했지만, 이번 면담에서는 한•일 갈등에 대해서 직접적인 언급은 하지 않았다.
