Japan`s Seko: Japan to communicate closely with the US - Reuters

Reuters is out with further commentary from Japan`s Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry Hiroshige Seko about the tit-for-tat unrveling between China and US president Donald Trump.

Key quotes:

According to Reuters, Seko and the Japanese government intend to "communicate closely with the United States over trade issues." As Reuters staff pointed out, "Seko made the comment after U.S. President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum on Thursday targeting up to $60 billion in Chinese goods with tariffs, but only after a 30-day consultation period that starts once a list is published."
