LOADS of words from Akazawa after extended talks, but nothing concrete at all.
Akazawa held talks with US Commerce Secretary Lutnick for 3 hoursHeld talks Treasury Secretary Bessent for 30 minutes
And the big reveal from Akazawa is this load of nothing:
Both sides reaffirmed importance of steadily implementing measures that benefit interests of both Japan and US under Japan-US agreementStrongly urged the US side to reconfirm agreement on reciprocal tariffsJapan will continue to maintain close communication with the US side at various levelsUrged the US side to correct the executive order regarding reciprocal tariffs
That’s him in the hat.
