Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba: Trump may have been misled on some tariff issues

According to Golden Finance, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba stated on Thursday that US President Trump's views on some tariff related issues may be based on misunderstandings or misinformation. The suspension period for the United States to impose a 24% equivalent tariff on Japanese imports will expire next week. We heard President Trump say that without American cars running in Japan, we will not import (American) rice. This may be based on misunderstanding or misinformation, "Shigeru Ishiba said. In fact, Japan has imported a record high amount of American rice in recent months, as domestic rice prices have skyrocketed since last year, harming consumer interests. However, Shigeru Ishiba said that the tariff negotiations with the United States are steadily making progress, but he did not disclose specific details.
