President Donald Trump sought to soothe concerns from the Japanese business community over dinner on Saturday night, as the U.S. trade war with China has rocked the region and the U.S. tries to hammer out a trade deal with Japan.
Guests at the dinner at the U.S. Ambassador's Residence included top executives from Honda, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota, whose companies are concerned about the president potentially crippling their industry by slapping steep tariffs on the Japanese autos. "We're getting closer," Trump said."We welcome your support in these efforts and we hope to have several further announcements soon and some very big ones over the next few months."
