💨 Abstract

Japan's top trade negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, may travel to Washington next week for the third round of trade talks with the U.S. The schedule depends on progress in narrowing differences. Japan is considering proposals to gain U.S. concessions, including increased imports of U.S. corn, soy, and collaboration in shipbuilding. The main issue is Japan's push for exemptions from U.S. tariffs on automobiles and auto parts, crucial to its export-driven economy.
