talks, not china and the united states. we a re talks, not china and the united states. we are talking about japan and the us today. after two years japan is finally taking a president trump's offer for a bilateral trade negotiation which will begin later today in washington, dc. japan's prime minister, shinzo abe, is keen to avoid tariffs onjapan‘s cars. as tensions grew between the united states and china, will the united states and china, will the united states have a class with its key ally? earlier they asked hannah addison in hong kong if she expects tensions to be as high as the us china trade talks. we are talking about two fundamentally different trading relationships. while you have seen us negotiators taking a lot of the lessons they used when it comes to renegotiating trade with china from us and japanese dialogues that happened in the ‘80s and 90s, i think you will not see that pattern played out again in us— japan trade talks, simply because within the

existing trade relationship between these two countries there is a lot of room for bilateral change without necessarily having to renegotiate a full new trade agreement. what will be the point of contention between the two countries during these negotiations? obviously the biggest item on japan's negotiations? obviously the biggest item onjapan‘s worry list negotiations? obviously the biggest item on japan's worry list and negotiations? obviously the biggest item onjapan‘s worry list and the biggest item on the us wishlist is automobiles. we have heard the us talk about automobile imports and also part imports, as well as the trading relationship between the us and foreign automobile manufacturers that either do production in the us oi’ that either do production in the us or ship to the us for us consumers to purchase. you mentioned about auto import quotas. japan has already said that this is one of their nonnegotiable is, together with foreign—exchange provisions. if the demands are too tough, could japanjust the demands are too tough, could japan just turn away from the talks? think when you have any two countries coming together to renegotiate a trading relationship, both sides obviously have to be prepared to walk away if they're not getting the results they seek. it is

important to remember that also quotas are not the only restriction one can place on trade. there are tariffs, export controls, licensing requirements, both sides have a large number of tools that they can use in order to figure out what the right trading relationship between the us and japan is going to be. that was hannah addison from jp morgan in hong kong. according to us treasury secretary steve mnuchin, it will be included in any usjapan trade talks. that brings us to the next topic, currencies. let us look, we're watching very closely, with the ongoing brexit negotiations we have talked a lot about the stirling lately. with major elections taking place in asia, both india and indonesia are in focus as well. tens of thousands of indonesians will be voting on presidential and parliamentary elections this week after campaigns focused on the
