TOKYO — Japan is hoping that the lack of a written agreement with the U.S. regarding their trade deal will help get tariff cuts on track quickly, but some points of disagreement between the countries could turn into bigger headaches later on.
“Rather than drafting a document, we would like the president to issue an executive order quickly and implement the 15% tariff rate,” said Ryosei Akazawa, Japan’s top trade negotiator, at a press conference on Tuesday.
