Japan is willing to make concessions to Washington and enter into bilateral trade negotiations in hopes of avoiding U.S. tariffs, as the two sides met for a second round of discussions, according to Japanese media.
On Sept. 25, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer met in New York with his counterpart, Toshimitsu Motegi, Japan’s economic revitalization minister. The meeting followed the first talks held in Washington in August, when the negotiators failed to reach an understanding.
