|The Japanese media outlet, Jiji News, reported on Friday, Japan and UK began talks with a view to scrapping tariffs on Japanese cars around 2026.
Nothing further is reported on the same.
On Thursday, Bloomberg cited a person familiar with the UK side of the talks, saying that “the UK and Japan are close to agreeing with a post-Brexit trade accord, a deal that would replace the free-trade agreement Britain enjoys through its membership of the European Union and avoid the introduction of tariffs next year.”
