- Japan's chief trade negotiator Ryosei Akazawa left Washington without an immediate agreement after talks with Donald Trump regarding US tariffs.
- Trump referred to the discussions on social media as "big progress" and emphasized the importance of a deal to strengthen both economies.
- The negotiations are of global interest since Japan is a significant investor in the US, and the relationship is crucial for security.
- Akazawa noted that the talks did not address currency issues and the weak yen, which will be handled separately by other US representatives.
The tariffs are 'extremely regrettable' and I urge the White House to pursue a deal that would strengthen both economies.— Ryosei Akazawa, after talks with Donald Trump.
