Trump claims that Japan is sending a team to talks: ‘Consider the policy again to introduce customs …’
Japan will send a team to talk about trade, the US president said Donald Trump adding that he spoke with Japanese Prime Minister on Monday Shigeruom Ishibwho, in turn, said he called Trump to think about the policy of the introduction of customs.
Trump’s decision is expected to introduce a levy of 25 percent to the import of cars and reciprocal customs duties of 24 percent on other Japanese goods, to give a heavy blow to the Japanese economy depending on exports. Analysts predict that more customs growth could demolish up to 0.8 percent economic growth.
« States from all over the world talk to us. They set up heavy but honest parameters, » Trump wrote on Truth’s social platform.
Minister Scott Bessent wrote on social networks that Trump borrowed him and an American representative for trade Jamieson Greera for trade negotiations with Japan.
The Japanese Prime Minister confirmed that in a telephone conversation Trump said that his policy of introducing customs was very disappointing and invited him to think about her again.
« So we have great relationships with Japan. That’s how they will stay, » he told the reporters after Trump.
The US president announced last week that he would impose a 10 percent basic customs on all imports to the United States and even more rates of ten countries, including some of the largest US trade partners, which has brought discomfort to the global market and confused US allies.
On Sunday night, Ishiba invited the key ministers in charge of the economy, including Finance Minister Katsunobua Kata, and gave them instruction to closely monitor and respond to the development of the market situation, Japanese newspaper Nikkei transmitted.
Bessent told Fox Business Network that he had not yet seen any proposal from Tokyo, but that he expects negotiations to reduce trade barriers with Japan that do not relate to customs duties.
Japan is among the 50 to 70 countries that have so far been addressed by Trump’s administration and have asked for negotiations, Bessent said.
« Japan is a very important military ally. They are also a very important economic ally, and now they are bound by long history, » Bessent emphasized. « I would expect Japan to get an advantage just because they came forward very quickly, » he added.
In the announcement on Xu, Beesent wrote that China was being isolated by returning to Trump’s customs.
« For countries that do not return, we have reached the highest level of customs, and I hope that we will eventually achieve good negotiations and reduce them, » said Beasent Fox Business Network.
