Emperor Hirohito stands with President and Mrs. Reagan at Tokyo arrival ceremony. Reagan paused amid the praise and pageantry of the first full day of his largely ceremonial visit to issue a careful warning that “a rising tide of protectionism threatens the otherwise friendly relations between Japan and the United States.” Reagan was striving to show that the U. S. considers Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone an exceptional leader and reliable ally. Still unsolved, however, are the trade deficits and surpluses, the quotas, and not seeing eye-to-eye on numerous trade matters. November 9, 1983. |
