The letters issued July 7 so far appeared to largely be a novel method of again punting a looming July 9 deadline for so-called “reciprocal” tariffs until at least the beginning of August.

President Donald Trump said he is not considering delaying his July 9 deadline for higher tariffs to resume and renewed his threat to cut off talks and impose duty rates on several nations.

President Donald Trump threatened to impose a fresh tariff level on Japan, citing what he said was the country’s unwillingness to accept rice exports from the U.S.

Japan and the U.S. have begun trade negotiations, with media reports suggesting Tokyo’s delegation is trying to win a reprieve from the tariffs by pledging to make more cars in the U.S. 

President Donald Trump is holding a rally in Pennsylvania on May 30 to celebrate a details-to-come deal for Japan-based Nippon Steel to invest in U.S. Steel.

“This is a very consequential moment for the G-7 in the world,” Canadian Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne told reporters May 20.

Nippon Steel has bolstered its pledge to invest in U.S. Steel in the event that President Donald Trump approves the Japanese company’s proposed $14.1 billion takeover.

Nippon Steel plans to invest $14 billion in U.S. Steel if the Trump administration approves the merger of the companies, Reuters reported.

Japanese logistics company Nissin said Bain Capital will buy its shares from shareholders for it to go private through a management buyout, in a deal worth about $756 million.
