Japan and the United States finished a third round of high-level tariffs talks on Friday in Washington, with both sides agreeing to keep talking while targeting a Group of Seven leaders’ meeting in June as a possible setting to announce a deal.
Ryosei Akazawa, Japan’s chief tariff negotiator, met separately with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick for 90 minutes and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer for 120 minutes, according to the Japanese government.
