Japan is "deeply concerned" about global economic fallout from U.S. President Donald Trump's trade tariffs, Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato said on Thursday in the government's strongest warning yet as the two nations began trade talks.

Japanese opposition lawmaker Shinji Oguma from the Constitutional Democratic Party sharply criticised US President Donald Trump’s tariff policies, calling them 'extortion' and urging Japan's ruling party to resist America's demands.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced late Friday that some smartphones, computers, chips and other electronics would be exempted from tariffs, but Trump's top economic advisers hit the Sunday talk shows to explain the policy, saying that tariffs against electronics would be coming in the next month or two.

U.S. President Donald Trump showed little signs of backing down on his plans to tariff the world Thursday — even as members of his administration continued to claim the duties will lead to the negotiation of new trade deals.

President Donald Trump on Thursday said he expects to make a trade deal with China, though he offered no specifics or indications of how talks would get underway with the two superpowers at an apparent impasse.

President Donald Trump has added to his unsupported claim that the U.S. is making “$2 billion a day” from tariffs by saying that the country was losing $2 billion or $3 billion "a day” under President Joe Biden.
