Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe indicated Monday he will seek to correct US President Donald Trump's "misunderstandings" about Japan's automobile trade practices when the leaders meet in Washington next week.
The February 10 meeting, the leaders' first face-to-face talks since Trump took office on January 20, follows the president's singling out of auto trade with Japan as an example of unfair practices, according to (Kyodo) news agency.
"If they're going to charge tax to our countries -- if as an example, we sell a car into Japan and they do things to us that make it impossible to sell cars in Japan...it's not fair," Trump said at a meeting with US business leaders last week.
