TOKYO, July 23 (Reuters) - Japan's top tariff negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, the Asahi newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Akazawa is visiting Washington to hold further talks with the United States, as Tokyo hopes to clinch a deal by an August 1 deadline that will avert Trump's tariff of 25% on imports from Japan.
