Japan PM Ishiba reiterates call to eliminate all tariffs with US

TOKYO (Reuters) -Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba reiterated on Sunday that he will aim for the elimination of all tariffs in trade negotiations with the United States. Speaking on a Fuji Television morning program, Ishiba said that "discussions have gradually come together," and that Tokyo's relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump is "surprisingly good." However, Ishiba said that Washington's agreement with London, announced on Thursday, which lowers prohibitive duties on British car exports while keeping a baseline 10% tariff in place, was "one model" for trade deals, "but we should aim for 0% tariffs."
