Sources: The Japan-U.S. leaders' meeting may be held in Canada on Monday.

Gate News bot message, a source from the Japanese government said that Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and U.S. President Trump may meet on Monday during the G7 leaders’ summit in Canada.

This is the second face-to-face meeting between Trump and Trump since he returned to the White House in January, and this meeting will focus on the progress of ongoing bilateral tariff negotiations. Before the meeting, the two have had multiple phone calls.

It is expected that Shinto Abe and Trump will take follow-up actions on the ministerial-level tariff negotiations over the past few months to reach the “mutually beneficial” agreement mentioned by the Japanese Prime Minister.

Japan has consistently urged Washington to focus on promoting investment and employment in the world’s largest economy, rather than imposing tariffs to reduce the massive trade deficit the U.S. has with Japan. The two leaders agreed in their meeting this February to push Japan-U.S. relations into a “golden era,” and this meeting may also discuss how to deepen the long-standing security alliance between the two countries in the context of increasing military activities in China and North Korea’s advancement of its nuclear weapons and missile development programs.
