Japan PM Says Win-Win Trade Deal With US May Be Hard to Implement

The trade deal reached last month between the US and Japan was “win-win” for both countries, but implementing the terms of the pact may be a bigger challenge than reaching the deal, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said.

“Some say that carrying the trade deal out is harder than agreeing on it. I humbly seek your continued support on this,” Ishiba said Monday in response to questions in parliament.
