(MENAFN) Japan's Economy Minister is meeting with US Trade Representative, seeking to resolve differences on autos and farm exports that are delaying progress toward a Pacific Rim trade deal, QNA reported.
Japan's top trade negotiator described the talks as "extremely severe." He said that the two sides were still trying to resolve differences over removing trade barriers in key areas.
