The US Treasury Secretary Bessant, Commerce Secretary Lutnik, and US Trade Representative Jamison Greer had an open argument in front of the Japanese negotiation representatives.
According to a report by American media on June 6, the US-Japan tariff negotiations have become more complicated due to the contradictory views on trade held by the three representatives from the United States who participated in the talks - Treasury Secretary Bessant, Commerce Secretary Lutnik, and US Trade Representative Greer. This has made it difficult for the Japanese negotiation representatives to judge the stance of the Trump administration.
Sometimes the tensions within the US team have been openly exposed. A source said that at a recent meeting, the three members of the Trump cabinet publicly argued with each other in front of the Japanese delegation, further highlighting the internal discord affecting the negotiations.
