Japan’s Prime Minister Ishiba is set to meet U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent in Tokyo on July 18, just ahead of the Osaka Expo’s U.S. National Day on July 19.
The meeting is intended to push forward negotiations between the two countries on looming U.S. tariff measures, with a deadline for the talks approaching on August 1.
Bessent, who is leading the U.S. side in the discussions, will also hold talks with Japan’s Economic Revitalization Minister Akazawa.
