Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba speaks to reporters at the Prime Minister’s Residence on Saturday.
The government decided Saturday to continue to press the United States to review its extra tariffs on Japanese automobiles during bilateral talks aimed at scrapping the Trump administration’s tariff measures.
Washington has excluded automobiles and other key items from the scope of the talks.
In response, Tokyo has insisted that it will make no concessions as it presses for a complete overhaul of each of the duties imposed Saturday, including those on auto parts.
“There is still a wide gulf between [Japan’s and the United States’] positions, and no common ground has emerged,” Ishiba told reporters after the meeting.
Ishiba also called the new duties on auto parts “extremely regrettable” and said Japan would “continue to demand that they be reversed.”.
Japan and the United States have agreed to hold an intensive series of ministerial meetings starting in mid-May. »
