Japan economy minister Motegi on the talks:
- issues that need to be sorted out at ministerial-level trade talks with the US. have been narrowed down
- agreed with Lighthizer to speed up discussions and work toward an early achievement of results
- negotiations are 'pretty tough' but we were able to conduct discussions with mutual trust
