White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow indicated yesterday that the US-Japan trade deal will likely be formally announced this month. A meeting is scheduled on September 25, during the UN General Assembly in New York, between President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Kudlow said “there just might be an announcement at the United Nations.”
On trade negotiation with China, Kudlow expressed his optimism and “there’s a little music in the air, which is not always so but right now, we should enjoy the day.” Deputy-level meetings will be held on Thursday and Friday in Washington, in preparation for the high-level US-China trade talks in mid-October.
