During trade talks, Japan presented Trump with a 'Made in China' piggy bank, highlighting the complexities of global supply chains amid trade tensions. Negotiations aim for a swift deal, but Japan is hesitant to concede on key issues like agriculture due to domestic political concerns and auto tariffs.

President Donald Trump of the United States on Wednesday said he will personally attend a meeting of Japanese and US trade officials. This is a surprise move that underlines his eagerness to oversee negotiations sparked by his barrage of tariffs on global imports.
