WASHINGTON, April 25 (Reuters) - The U.S. Trade Representative's office said on Friday that it is "constantly engaged" with Japan and other countries on alternative reciprocal trade arrangements that could eliminate or reduce the current 10% tariff levels on most countries.
A USTR spokesperson said in an emailed statement that these talks were substantial and technical in nature, but President Donald Trump "ultimately will determine whether to proceed with alternative arrangements with any country."
