Japan's Finance Prime Minister Taro Aso said in a statement that he believe's that the U.S.'s consideration of rejoining TPP is a preference to be had, however he feel s that the U.S. will only join if there is a deal/consideration of having bilateral free trade agreement with Japan. President Trump withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Finance Prime Minister Aso will be traveling to the U.S. Tuesday and Wednesday to keep the close relationship between Japan and the U.S.
