Japan’s Ishiba says won’t fixate on US trade talk time limits


TOKYO: Japan won’t compromise its national interests in trade talks with the US by fixating on time limits, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba (pic) said, signalling Tokyo isn’t rushing into an agreement.

The nation won’t simply be going down the same path after the UK became the first nation to reach a trade agreement with the Trump administration earlier this month, and China reached a temporary truce with the US, Ishiba said in parliament on Monday (May 19).
