Negotiations have stalled ahead of next week’s deadline, with some suggesting Japan misjudged the depth of President Trump’s frustration over Tokyo’s policies.

It means that a tariff of 341 yen ($2.4) per kilogram of rice will remain in place for now, a rate that has been in place since Japan opened its market in 1999 and allowed importers to bring in rice as long as they pay a 341-yen tariff per kilo.

Japan will not sacrifice the agricultural sector as part of its tariff talks with the United States, its top negotiator said on Tuesday, after President Donald Trump complained that the key Asian ally was not buying American rice.
