TOKYO - U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue urged Japan on Monday to move swiftly to clinch a trade deal with Washington on farm products and other goods, in a way that would treat his country fairly as “premier customer.”
“President Trump is really looking forward to a deal sooner rather than later,” Perdue told reporters. “We cannot continue to kick this trade can down the road forever,” he said, adding that it was time to get a goal.He said details of negotiations such as the degree and timing of a trade deal are being left to top negotiators of the both countries - U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Economy Minister Toshimitsu Motegi.
President Donald Trump, who hosted Abe at the White House last month, had said he hoped to clinch a final deal with Japan in time for his visit to Tokyo on May 25-28.
