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.
