(MENAFN) The U.S. is reportedly seeking a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Japan with a focus on agriculture.
The Trump administration will seek a further opening of the country's agriculture market under the proposed FTA.
U.S. Trade Representative said earlier that Washington and Tokyo were expected to launch FTA negotiations this month but may be pushed back until April or May as the U.S. is focused on ongoing trade talks with China.
Although the U.S. is considering a "comprehensive pact" covering a range of areas including goods, services, investment and currency, Japan has insisted that the two governments aim for a trade agreement on goods only.
