Donald Trump wants to get rid of tariff on US agricultural products by Japan.
Donald Trump gives a thumbs up while standing with Shinzo Abe at the West Wing of the White House.
Trump told reporters at the White House that the agricultural levies are unfair “because we don’t tariff their cars.” At the same time, Trump praised Japanese automobile companies for investing in the US.Trump and Abe met as their senior negotiators wrapped up the second round in as many weeks of accelerated talks to reach a trade deal focused mainly on agriculture and cars.
For its part, Japan is looking for a concrete promise that it won’t be hit by possible US tariffs on autos imports, similar to duties imposed by the Trump administration last year on steel and aluminium on national security grounds. The US Trade Representative has included a provision on currencies in its list of negotiating goals with Japan, and the US has included references to currency in several recent trade deals, including the successor to Nafta, known as USMCA.
