00:00Japan will not sacrifice its agricultural sector in tariff talks with the U.S.,
00:06says Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi.
00:09His remarks follow President Donald Trump's complaints
00:12that Japan isn't buying American rice
00:14and threatens to impose higher tariffs on Japanese exports.
00:19Hayashi said the government, however,
00:21would continue to engage in trade talks with the U.S.
00:25towards a deal that maximizes Japan's national interests.
00:28With the July 9th U.S. tariff deadline nearing,
00:31Japan has yet to secure a trade deal after nearly three months of talks.
00:36Tokyo has been pushing the U.S. to drop a 25% tariff on Japanese cars
00:40and a 24% reciprocal tariff on other Japanese imports.
00:45Top trade negotiator and economy minister Ryosei Akazawa
00:48recently returned from his seventh trip to Washington,
00:52but declined to say whether rice was a part of those discussions.
