The United States and Japan will try to find common ground on agricultural trade and other issues at the next round of negotiations for a Pacific Rim trade agreement, according to a Reuters article available here.
U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman and Japanese Economy Minister Akira Amari met in Washington recently and agreed to work toward a comprehensive agreement at the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) talks. “Ambassador Froman and Minister Amari agreed on the importance of narrowing differences between the United States and Japan on agriculture and other market access and rules issues,” said Froman’s office.
Other countries involved in the TPP negotiations include Australia, Brunei, Chile, Canada, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.
