WASHINGTON—The White House last Friday laid out objectives for trade talks with Japan, setting the clock for them to begin as early as Jan. 20, as the administration seeks to slash the United States' $69 billion trade deficit with the world's third-biggest economy. According to the document, the United States is aiming to secure duty-free market access for American industrial products and reduce or eliminate tariffs for U.S. agricultural goods.
MILWAUKEE, WI—Harley-Davidson, stung by new tariffs, said on Monday that it will shift some motorcycle production to factories outside the U.S. According to CBS News, the motorcycle manufacturer is shifting production of motorcycles heading to Europe from the U.S. to overseas factories because EU tariffs on its motorcycles exported from the U.S. have surged from 6 percent to 31 percent.
