Shigeru Ishiba: “The bottom line is, we must consider what will best serve Japan’s national interest.”

I look forward to working with President Trump, whom I respect immensely, to usher in a new golden age of Japan-U.S. relations.

The agreement did 'not sacrifice' Japanese agriculture.

We deeply regret that the US government has imposed additional tariffs and announced plans to raise tariff rates.
