The White House said Trump would push for fair trade
U. S. President Donald Trump said on Friday the United States and Japan have begun discussion over trade, saying that Tokyo «knows it’s a big problem» if an agreement cannot be reached, and that India has also asked to start talks on a trade deal.
«We’re starting that,» Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. «In fact Japan has called us… they came last week.»
«If we don’t make a deal with Japan, Japan knows it’s a big problem,» he added.
Later in a speech in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Trump said:
«India called us the other day. They said we’d like to start doing a trade deal. First time.»
«They wouldn’t talk about it with the previous administrations. They were very happy with the way it was,» he said without giving further details.
