💨 Abstract

President Trump claimed "big progress" in tariff talks with Japan on Wednesday, marking one of the first face-to-face negotiations since his tariffs on global imports caused market turbulence and recession fears. Japan was surprised by Trump's involvement, viewing the talks as preliminary. Tokyo had hoped to restrict discussions to trade and investment matters but Trump mentioned thorny issues like defense costs.
