President Donald Trump keeps up pressure on Japan to cut its trade surplus with the US
US President Donald Trump talks with Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe during their meeting at Akasaka Palace state guest house in Tokyo, Japan on May 27, 2019.
"Trade-wise, I think we’ll be announcing some things, probably in August that will be very good for both countries," Trump said. "We'll get the balance of trade, I think, straightened out rapidy." He became the first foreign dignitary to be received by the monarch since inheriting the throne after his father, Akihito, stepped down in the first abdication by a Japanese emperor in two centuries.
The two leaders have put on a show of friendship but have policy disagreements over trade and North Korea. Such allies share US concerns about Chinese practices but object to Trump's tactics of threatening tariffs on their products rather than seeking cooperation in standing up to Beijing. Bolton told reporters in Tokyo on Saturday that there was "no doubt" that North Korea's recent launches violated UN resolutions, and that sanctions against the North must be kept in place.
