Japan has abruptly cancelled a key trade delegation to Washington, stalling a massive $550 billion investment deal with the U.S. just hours before Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheduled Tokyo visit. Tokyo cited unresolved tariff issues and unclear profit-sharing terms as reasons for the last-minute decision. The move is seen as a blow to US President Donald Trump’s efforts to showcase a major economic agreement in Asia. Japan is demanding revisions to existing U.S. executive orders before continuing tariff negotiations.
