Japan Seeks Trade Deal with U.S.
- Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is set to meet U.S. President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the upcoming G7 summit in Canada starting Sunday.
- The meeting aims to address the impact of U.S. tariffs on Japanese exports, with a July 9 deadline looming for imposing higher reciprocal tariffs absent a deal.
- Japan's top trade negotiator Ryosei Akazawa held extensive talks with U.S. officials last Friday to explore a mutually beneficial trade agreement and avoid further auto tariff hikes.
- Mizuho Research & Technologies estimated that escalating tariffs could reduce Japan's GDP by 0.9%, and analysts warn that tariffs sustained will eventually drag down growth significantly.
- With a crucial July 20 House of Councillors election approaching, Ishiba faces political pressure to balance securing a trade deal while protecting national interests amid an unsettled economy.
