LOADS of words from Akazawa after extended talks, but nothing concrete at all.
- Akazawa held talks with US Commerce Secretary Lutnick for 3 hours
- Held talks Treasury Secretary Bessent for 30 minutes
And the big reveal from Akazawa is this load of nothing:
- Both sides reaffirmed importance of steadily implementing measures that benefit interests of both Japan and US under Japan-US agreement
- Strongly urged the US side to reconfirm agreement on reciprocal tariffs
- Japan will continue to maintain close communication with the US side at various levels, govt says
That’s him in the hat.
