Japanese Prime Minister: The US and Japan have not yet reached an agreement, and Japan should not easily concede.

On July 8, according to Jinshi Data, former Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba stated that because Japan insists on defending the interests it should defend, the two sides (US and Japan) have not yet reached an agreement. They will continue to maintain dialogue with the United States and seek to reach an agreement that is beneficial to both parties. Through past negotiations with the United States, Japan successfully avoided tariffs rising to 30% to 35%. The United States has proposed continuing talks until the new deadline of August 1. It is deeply regrettable that the United States announced additional tariffs. So far, it has been impossible to reach an agreement because Japan has had difficult negotiations with the United States, believing that Japan should not give in easily. [Deep Tide TechFlow]
