U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday that a "very big" trade deal with Japan is expected soon as he held talks with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the southwest French town of Biarritz.
"We are working on one and we are fairly close," Trump said at the outset of his meeting with Abe, adding that if it gets done, it will be a "very big deal."
Abe, sitting alongside Trump, said he hopes to have "productive" discussions, as the two countries look to close a bilateral deal in September.
