Japan PM says disagreements remain with US on tariff talks

Reuters :

Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said his country has not reached a comprehensive tariff agreement with the United States as some disagreements persist between the two nations.

Ishiba, talking to reporters after the Group of Seven summit on Tuesday, emphasised the importance of securing a trade deal that benefits both countries while safeguarding Japan’s national interests.

Ishiba, who was at his first G7 summit as prime minister, held tariff talks US President Donald Trump on Monday, but the meeting ended without an agreement to lower or eliminate the 25% tariff Trump has imposed on Japanese auto imports.
