The government of Japanese Prime Minister Shighgero Ishiba is considering increasing the import of rice and soybeans from the United States, as a possible negotiating instrument in his continued talks with United States about customs duties imposed by President Donald Trump, according to Yomiuri Shimbun. During commercial negotiations that took place earlier this week, Washington criticized the restrictions imposed on Japanese exports and the rice distribution system, and described it as serious and lack of transparency, according to the newspaper report released on Saturday. Washington also called on Tokyo to increase the imports of other agricultural products, including meat, seafood and potatoes, according to “Yumiuri”. Japan is looking for the release of Customs, the chief Japanese negotiator, Riosi Akazawa, launched a round of talks with its US peers, including Treasury Secretary Scott, and launched commercial actors Gameson Ghrir in an attempt to get release of a dead. Like most other countries, Japan gave a 90 -day exemption period of a comprehensive customs fee of 24%. However, a basic rate of 10% is still valid, along with extra fees of 25% on cars, steel and aluminum. The first round of the negotiations did not lead to an immediate agreement, but preparations are being made to hold a second round, according to what the Japanese delegation announced. Trump met Akazawa before the start of the talks, indicating “great progress” in the progress of the negotiations. Although Akazawa did not disclose the details of the meeting, he did not confirm that the discussions did not address currency issues, despite the importance of the major traders. Japanese -American negotiating files reported that the newspaper “Yumiuri” reported that US officials also expressed concern about Japanese security regulations for unfair cars, in addition to the financial burden carrying the United States to support the Japanese defense efforts. These issues are compatible with what was issued by the US commercial representative in the national commercial obstacles earlier this month on external commercial barriers. According to the newspaper, Akazawa asked the US delegation to arrange their priorities according to its importance. A follow -up tour is expected to be held by commercial talks at the end of this month.
