Japan’s Aso: No comment regarding Trump remarks on US-Japan trade

Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso is on the wires now, via Reuters, declining to comments on Trump’s overnight remarks that probably sparked US-Japan row.

Late-Thursday, the US President Trump mulled trade issue with Japan while talking to the Wall Street Journal’s (WSJ) James Freeman.

Freeman cited: "It seems that he is still bothered by the terms of U.S. trade with Japan. Mr. Trump described his good relations with the Japanese leadership but then added: 'Of course that will end as soon as I tell them how much they have to pay.'"
