Japan Prime Minister Ishiba
- No change at all to our stance of requesting U.S. to cancel tariffs
- Not in situation where we have found common ground yet
- But received report from Akazawa that talks were forward-looking
- Reaching a deal in haste is not necessarily in the best interest
Earlier from Japan on tariffs:
- Japan eco min Akazawa says no comment on specifics of tariff negotiations with Trump
- "Japan's US Treasury holdings among tools for trade talks, Finance Minister Kato says"
