Trump denied the possibility of concluding a separate trade deal with Japan

The United States will not conclude a separate trade deal with Japan due to its refusal to purchase American rice. This was announced on June 30 by the American President Donald Trump.

On his page on the Truth Social network, he wrote that Tokyo refused to buy rice from Washington, despite the fact that the country has a "huge shortage" of this product.

Trump said this shows how "spoiled" Japan has become towards the United States. He added that despite this, the United States would be happy to have such a trading partner as Japan.

The decision to block the "Trump tariffs" lasted only one day, but the fight has only just begun.

Bloomberg reported on April 19 that the Japanese government plans to offer the United States to increase imports of American rice and soybeans as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the United States. According to the newspaper, earlier this week, during discussions, Washington criticized Tokyo's export restrictions and its rice distribution system. In addition, the United States called on the Japanese side to increase imports of meat, seafood and potatoes.
