u.s.-Japan Caucus: Trade Relationship and Members I

u.s.-japan caucus: Castro was speaking at a reception in Washington for the caucus, a bipartisan congressional organization with more than 100 members, according to The Japan Times. I always remind folks back home that our ties with Japan are deep and our nations represent the first- and third-largest economies in the world, he said. Whatever happens with a possible Japan-U.S. trade deal we want to make sure that our economic ties remain as strong as they are now and continue to grow, said Democrat Joaquin Castro of Texas, co-chair of the U.S.-Japan Caucus. We have an incredible opportunity to continue to grow those economies and that trade relationship. The dialogue, to be led by Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso and U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, will cover trade and macroeconomic policy as well as infrastructure and energy projects. Castro made the remarks as the two governments are reportedly considering holding the first round of a high-level bilateral economic dialogue on April 18 in Tokyo. (news.financializer.com).
