US President Donald Trump said he’ll attend a meeting Wednesday with Japan to negotiate tariffs, American military support and “trade fairness.”

“Hopefully something can be worked out which is good (GREAT!) for Japan and the USA!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

The Treasury and Commerce departments are leading the discussions in Washington.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said Japan is likely to be prioritized because it stepped forward quickly. He envisions reaching agreements with Japan and other military allies so they could come up with a collective effort to apply economic pressure on China.
