As trade talks begin between the US and Japan, Ryosei Akazawa, Japan's novice economic revitalization minister, is set to negotiate a deal with President Trump following a history of tariffs. Despite his limited experience, Akazawa's close ties to Prime Minister Ishiba could be advantageous. The negotiations could encompass not just trade but also contentious topics like currency and defense, posing a significant challenge amidst Japan's protective stance on agriculture. With a 90-day deadline approaching due to existing tariffs, the outcome remains uncertain.
