Japan PM Ishiba mulls Trump trade meeting before G7, says Yomiuri newspaper ...Middle East

Japanese officials see signs of progress on easing Trump's tariffs after repeated visits by top tariff negotiator Ryosei Akazawa, and say the U.S. side has shown strong interest in Japan's proposals, the Yomiuri said, citing Japanese government officials it did not name.

The White House and the Japanese Prime Minister's Office did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside business hours.

Some Japanese government officials hope an agreement can be announced in time for President Trump's birthday on June 14, the Yomiuri said.

But he said there would be no deal without U.S. concessions on tariffs, including on autos.

Ishiba has said bilateral negotiations were progressing on trade expansion, non-tariff measures and economic security, while Tokyo has mentioned possible increases in its purchases of U.S. military equipment and energy, as well as cooperation on shipbuilding and repairing U.S. warships in Japan.
