Trump demand for Japan to buy more US rice stalled trade talks — report
Business World Philippines
|September 01, 2025
A Trump administration request that Japan buy more US rice caused this week's snag in bilateral trade talks as Tokyo “strongly objected” to the condition, the Nikkei newspaper reported.
-
Japan’s top tariff negotiator abruptly canceled a US trip on Thursday over unspecified “points that need to be discussed at the administrative level,” a government spokesperson said, as the two sides try to hammer out details ofa July agreement on a reduced 15% tariff on US imports from Japan.
The Nikkei, citing Japanese government officials it did not identify, said a revised order from President Donald Trump included a commitment for Japan to buy more American rice.
One official criticized the proposal as an “interference in domestic affairs,” the business daily said.
