TOKYO — Japan is considering an increase in imports of American soybeans to help the U.S. offset a loss of exports to China, Nikkei has learned, as Tokyo seeks to coax the Trump administration into dropping its tariffs.
Ryosei Akazawa, Japan’s lead negotiator in the tariff talks, will visit the U.S. from April 30 to May 2 and meet with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and other Trump administration officials.
