US president, Japanese PM met at White House on Thursday
U. S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday after White House talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that the two leaders were working together to improve trading relations and that Abe promised new Japanese investment in the United States.
At a joint news conference, Trump said Abe told him Japan was buying „billions and billions of dollars of additional products of all kinds – military jets, airliners from Boeing, lots of farm products.“
„We’re working hard to reduce our trade imbalance which is very substantial, remove barriers to U. S. exports and to achieve a fair and mutually beneficial economic partnership,“ Trump said.
Japan, a key American ally, is among a number of countries hit by metal tariffs Trump has imposed this year.
