After Pence and Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso held the first round of their high-level economic dialogue, Pence said Under President Trump's leadership, the United States seeks stronger and more balanced bilateral trade relationships with every country, including Japan. He added that the Trans-Pacific Partnership is a thing in the past. Earlier Tuesday, Pence said the Trump administration will also review and restyle a 5-year-old free trade agreement with South Korea.
