Trump meets with Japanese trade delegation, says there has been significant progress with Japan

Trump posted today (on Beijing time April 17th), "It is a great honor to have just met with the Japanese trade delegation. Major progress has been made."

[Wit] Comment: Japanese and American officials are negotiating in Washington. Before the negotiation, US media reported that the Trump administration would ask Japan to cooperate with the US tariff pressure on China. This meeting between Trump and the Japanese trade delegation was arranged temporarily and was not included in the previous plan. Both sides discussed issues such as the cost of maintaining US troops in Japan, Japanese automobile safety standards, and Japanese imports of American agricultural products. We need to keep an eye on the progress of negotiations between Japan and the US. However, Trump always says "major progress". Trump has long been unreliable in speech, exaggerating. The Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Ukraine mining agreement, the US-North Korea summit... all started with a big fanfare, but actually ended up in a mess.
