WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump cast doubt on reaching a trade deal with Japan, a day after threatening higher tariffs on Japanese exports to the United States, claiming the country won’t buy American rice.“We’ve dealt with Japan. I’m not sure if we’re gonna make a deal, I doubt it, with Japan,” he told reporters on Air Force One on Tuesday. “They and others are so spoiled from having ripped us off for 30, 40 years that it’s really hard for them to make a deal.”As July 9, the end of the 90-day pause on Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs,” approaches, US trade partners including Japan are looking to strike deals that they hope will appease the American president.
