This time, it is correct. After canceling his trip last week, the Japanese negotiator in charge of the customs tasks that went on Thursday for Washington, to press the president of the United States, Donald Trump, to sign a decree that implements an agreement on the customs tasks announced six weeks ago.
“We want to guarantee the implementation of the Japan-ST Agreement. The United States that will guarantee economic security and growth” for both nations, he added.
This “massive agreement”, announced on July 22 by Donald Trump, provides additional customs duties of 15% in Japanese products exported to the United States, much less than 25% of which the country was afraid to pay the price.
He also announced that customs tasks in Japanese cars, a sector that represents about 8% of the work of the archipelago, would be at the same level, against 27.5% before, but these measures have not yet entered into force.
Ryosei Akazawa should also initiate discussions about Donald Trump’s statements about Japanese “investments” in the United States of $ 550 billion, NHK’s public media said.
Donald Trump said that the United States would maintain 90% of the profits of these investments, while Tokyo has mentioned mainly loans and guarantees.
