WASHINGTON—President Trump hosted Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at the White House April 26 for a series of bilateral meetings including trade and regional security. The two leaders are working toward a bilateral trade deal that could give American farmers more access to Japan’s market.
“We have a very big trade negotiation going on right now with Japan,” Trump said during a joint press meeting. “We’ll be discussing very strongly agriculture because as the prime minister knows, Japan puts very massive tariffs on our agriculture.”
