U.S.-Japan trade talks

Instead of opting to promote the global spread of protectionism, Japan and the region must choose to defend and strengthen free trade.

The country's large holding of U.S. debt has long been framed as a win-win. It now has the potential to serve as a diplomatic trump.

The manner in which the Trump administration has conducted itself toward Japan should serve as a warning to U.S. friends and foe alike: no one is safe.

The Japanese agriculture sector has a long history of obstructing international trade talks. 

With details of the U.S.- Japan trade emerging, has the Abe administration sold out the Japanese farming sector?

As the US and Japan intensify trade negotiations, the push for a quick “mini-deal” on agriculture and autos will have far-reaching impact.

With China talks stalling, Trump may be more inclined to give Japan concessions to seal in a trade 'win.'

North Korea, trade, and Iran all remain points of potential friction, but Trump-Abe bonhomie was the center of the trip.

There's a clear strategic rationale for Abe's over-the-top efforts to cultivate a relationship with Trump.

Japan is ready to give Trump a signature economic win. Here's why.

During his visit to Tokyo, Mike Pence laid out the U.S.-Japan joint vision for the Indo-Pacific region.

Japan is at the heart of virtually every effort to write new rules governing the global trading system in the 21st century.
