US trade deals with EU, Japan reduce uncertainties, Japan government says

TOKYO, July 28 (Reuters) - Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said on Monday that recent trade agreements between the United States and the European Union, as well as between the U.S. and Japan, have lowered the uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade policy.

Hayashi, the top government spokesperson, also said the decline in uncertainty would mitigate the risk of U.S. trade policy exerting downward pressure on Japan and global economies.
