US admits error in Japan trade deal, promises tariff refunds: Tokyo
The US has admitted a "mistake" in implementing its trade agreement with Japan and pledged to fix it, with Japan's top tariff negotiator Ryosei Akazawa saying Washington promised refunds of import taxes collected because of the oversight. Talks in Washington centred on whether a 15 percent tariff on Japanese imports stacks on top of existing duties, while the deal has the US cutting its car tariff to 15 percent from 27.5 percent, though the effective date remains unclear.
