Japan Proposes Shipbuilding Cooperation with U.S.
Washington, May 23 (Jiji Press)--The Japanese government has proposed cooperating with the United States in the field of shipbuilding as part of the two countries' economic security partnership, it was learned Friday.
The Japanese side also plans to send industry ministry officials to an energy-related conference to be held in Alaska, where a liquefied natural gas development project is planned, informed sources said.
By highlighting its cooperative stance toward the United States, the Japanese government hopes to fend off a series of additional tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.
Japanese economic revitalization minister Ryosei Akazawa, the country's chief negotiator in tariff talks with the United States, left for Washington on Friday to attend the third ministerial-level session with the U.S. side.
