Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said he will not make "big concessions" to President Donald Trump in order to get a U.S. trade deal wrapped up quickly ahead of talks due to start on April 17 in Washington.
Ishiba also said Japan needs to understand Trump's views on tariffs and trade "in terms of the logic and the emotional elements" behind them.
The Japanese leader made the comments to the country's parliament on Monday, Reuters reported.
