The US and Japan will hold trade talks on April 15 and 16 in Washington as part of President Trump’s campaign promise for fair and reciprocal trade. Trump will most likely work on resolving the large trade deficit with Japan.

The US would like to see increase US beef exports while Japan said the trade talks will only cover goods only and not agriculture.

It will be interesting to see how the talks proceed – Japan is already a party to the 11-member agreement formerly known as the Trans Pacific Partnership along with an economic partnership agreement with the EU.
