Tariff negotiations between the U.S. and Japan are being complicated by the involvement of three senior American officials who hold conflicting views on trade, according to sources close to the talks. The differing approaches of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and U.S. Trade Representative Jamiesol Greer have created confusion and made it difficult for Japanese negotiators to gauge the Trump administration’s true position.
Tensions among the U.S. team have at times spilled into the open. One source said that at a recent meeting, the three cabinet members paused discussions with their Japanese counterparts to argue among themselves, further highlighting the internal discord shaping the negotiations.
