TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan’s top tariff negotiator Ryosei Akazawa intends to visit the United States around May 30 for a fourth round of trade talks, two sources familiar with the matter said on Friday.
During the trip, Akazawa aims to meet U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who would not be able to join this weekend’s third talks between Akazawa and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, as well as U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.
