Japan, Britain to forge closer economic ties

Japan and Britain are set to establish a new framework for economic and trade cooperation, as reported by the Nikkei business daily.

This move comes amid rising concerns about potential trade protectionism under the incoming US administration.

The two nations plan to collaborate closely to address potential tariff increases imposed by the United States.

The “2 plus 2” talks, involving foreign and trade ministers from both countries, will be a key platform for discussing and coordinating their strategies.
