   Kananaskis, Canada, June 16 (Jiji Press)--Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and U.S. President Donald Trump did not reach a full agreement over high U.S. tariffs on Japanese imports on Monday.
   In their 30-minute meeting in Kananaskis, western Canada, the two leaders agreed to continue the Japan-U.S. tariff negotiations.

   "We engaged in candid discussions and agreed to instruct our ministers to further (tariff) talks," he also said.
