Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba emphasized the necessity of eliminating all tariffs in trade talks with the United States, describing current relations with President Trump as unexpectedly positive.

He also mentioned the need for careful consideration of any proposed reduction in the consumption tax in Japan.
