(Reuters) - The United States and Japan will announce a deal on Monday to restrict tariffs imposed on Japanese steel under former President Donald Tru.
Eighty years ago, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 that forced the removal and incarceration of 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent during World War II.
Negotiations between Japan and the United States over U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs are “robust” with a U.S.-EU deal to ease the duties serving as a “template,” Japan’s ambassador to Washington said on Monday. “We have accelerated discussions. There has been robust negotiation taking place, including at the ministerial level,” Ambassador Koji Tomita said during .
Koji Tomita said the U.S.-EU quota agreement that is now allowing some steel and aluminum into the United States duty free is a template for the talks.
