Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is expected to hear to Mar-a-Lago to meet President Trump to discuss North Korea and steel and aluminum tariffs on April 18.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is finalizing details for a summit with President Donald Trump on April 18 to discuss strategy before a proposed meeting between North Korean and U. S. leaders, a ruling party official told Reuters on Wednesday.
Abe will also likely ask Trump to exempt Japan from his steel and aluminum tariffs, said the official, who has been briefed on the matter and asked not to be identified.
Abe, speaking at a parliamentary committee, said Japanese steel products were helping to make U. S. auto makers more competitive and cheaper for American consumers.
«Protectionism, at first glance, appears to benefit a nation which exercises it, but it is not necessarily so,» Abe said.
