I muri i te whakamutu i te tautohe utu mō te rino me te konumohe me te Kotahitanga o Ūropi, i te Mane (15 o Noema) i whakaae ngā āpiha o Amerika me Hapani ki te tīmata i ngā whiriwhiringa hei whakatau i te tautohe hokohoko o Amerika mō ngā utu tāpiri mō te rino me te konumohe i kawemai mai i Hapani.

I kī ngā āpiha o Hapani i tae te whakatau i muri i te hui a te Hēkeretari Tauhokohoko o Amerika a Gina Raimondo me te Minita Ōhanga, Tauhokohoko me te Ahumahi o Hapani a Koichi Hagiuda, e whakaata ana i te whanaungatanga i waenga i ngā ōhanga nui rawa atu me te tuatoru o ngā ōhanga nui rawa atu o te ao. Te hiranga o te mahi tahi.

"He mea nui te whanaungatanga o Amerika-Hapani ki te uara ōhanga noa," te kī a Raimundo. I karanga ia ki ngā taha e rua kia mahi tahi i roto i ngā momo wāhanga o ngā haurua-ā-hiko me ngā mekameka tuku, nā te mea i aukati te korenga o ngā maramara me ngā raruraru whakaputa i te whakaoranga ōhanga whānui o ngā whenua whakawhanake.

I te Rāhina, i kī te Manatū Ōhanga, Tauhokohoko me te Ahumahi o Hapani kua whakaae a Hapani me te Hononga o Amerika ki te tīmata kōrero i tētahi hui takirua i Tōkyō hei whakatau i te take o te whakatakoto a te Hononga o Amerika i ngā tāke tāpiri ki runga i te maitai me te konumohe i kawemai mai i Hapani. Heoi, i kī tētahi āpiha o te Manatū Ōhanga, Tauhokohoko me te Ahumahi o Hapani kāore ngā taha e rua i kōrero mō ngā tikanga motuhake, kāore hoki i whakatakoto i tētahi rā mō ngā whiriwhiringa.

I te Paraire, i kī te Hononga o Amerika ka kōrero tahi rātou ko Hapani mō te take o ngā utu kawemai mō te maitai me te konumohe, ā, ka taea e rātou te whakangawari i ēnei utu. He kaupapa matua tēnei mō te whanaungatanga tauhokohoko i waenganui i ngā whenua e rua mō te wā roa.

I te tīmatanga o tēnei marama, i tono a Hapani ki te United States kia whakakorea ngā taripa i whakatakotoria e te whakahaerenga o mua a te Perehitini o Amerika, a Trump, i te tau 2018 i raro i te "Wāhanga 232".

"E tono ana a Hapani kia whakatau katoatia e te Hononga o Amerika te take o te whakapikinga taripa i runga anō i ngā ture a te Whakahaere Tauhokohoko o te Ao (WTO), e ai ki tā Hapani tono mai i te tau 2018," te kī a Hiroyuki Hatada, he āpiha nō te Manatū Ōhanga, Tauhokohoko me te Ahumahi.

Nō nā tata nei te whakaae a te Hononga o Amerika me te Kotahitanga o Ūropi ki te whakamutu i te tautohe tonu mō te whakatinanatanga o ngā taake rino me te konumohe e te Perehitini o mua o Amerika, a Trump, i te tau 2018, ki te whakakore i te whao i roto i ngā whanaungatanga whakawhiti-awa, me te karo i te pikinga ake o ngā taake utu a te EU.

Ka mau tonu i te whakaaetanga ngā taake 25% me te 10% i whakatakotoria e te Hononga o Amerika mō te maitai me te konumohe i raro i te Wāhanga 232, me te tuku i tētahi "rahinga iti" o te konganuku i hangaia i roto i te EU kia uru kore taake ki te Hononga o Amerika.

I te pātaitanga atu mō te tauhohenga a Hapani mēnā ka whakaarohia e te Hononga o Amerika ētahi mahi ōrite, ka whakahoki a Hatada mā te kī, "Ki tā mātou e whakaaro nei, ina kōrero ana mātou mō te whakaoti rapanga i runga i te huarahi e tutuki ana i ngā whakaritenga a te WTO, kei te kōrero mātou mō te tango i ngā taake tāpiri."

"Ka pānuitia ngā taipitopito ā muri ake nei," tāna tāpiri, "Mēnā ka tangohia ngā taripa, he otinga tino pai tēnei mō Hapani."

I kī te Manatū Ōhanga, Tauhokohoko me te Ahumahi o Hapani, i whakaae hoki ngā whenua e rua ki te whakatū i tētahi Hononga Pakihi me te Ahumahi o Hapani-US (JUCIP) hei mahi tahi ki te whakapakari i te whakataetae ahumahi me ngā mekameka tuku.

I kī te Tari o te Māngai Tauhokohoko o te Hononga o Amerika, mā ngā whiriwhiringa ki a Hapani mō te take o te maitai me te konumohe ka whai wāhi ki te whakatairanga i ngā paerewa teitei me te whakatau i ngā take e pārekareka ana ki te katoa, tae atu ki te huringa āhuarangi.

Koinei te haerenga tuatahi a Raimundo ki Āhia mai i tana tīmatanga ki te tari. Ka haere ia ki Singapore mō ngā rā e rua, mai i te Tūrei, ā, ka haere ki Mareia i te Taite, ā, muri iho ka haere ki Kōrea ki te Tonga me Īnia.

Kua pānuitia e te Perehitini o Amerika, a Biden, ka whakatūria he anga ōhanga hou hei "whakatau i ā mātou whāinga tahi me ō mātou hoa mahi i te rohe."
