Trump says Japan 'changing' its way in tariff talks
Trump was speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews near Washington, but did not elaborate on the hint that Japan may have made concessions in the tariff talks.
Earlier, the U.S. president lamented what he has alleged are Tokyo's unfair trade practices.
"We sell them no cars because they won't accept our cars, and they won't accept much of our agricultural stuff," he said.
Trump said in a letter addressed to Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba last week that his administration will impose a 25% reciprocal tariff on all imports from Japan, effective on Aug. 1.
In response, Ishiba stressed that his government will not make concessions easily in order to protect his country's national interests. Japan had aimed to reach a trade agreement with the United States at a summit of their leaders in June, but talks have been stalled.

Apple inks $500m deal with MP Materials for rare earth magnets
(Reuters) -- Apple has signed a $500-million deal with Pentagon-backed MP Materials for the supply of rare earth magnets, an agreement underscoring corporate America's growing alignment with U.S. industrial policy support for critical minerals projects. MP shares jumped 19% on Tuesday morning to an all-time high, while Apple's stock gained just under 1%. The multi-year supply deal, announced on Tuesday, is part of a broader push by Apple to bring iPhone production to the United States amid a push from the Trump administration to produce fewer electronics in China. MP last week agreed to a multibillion-dollar deal with the U.S. Department of Defense that will see the Pentagon become MP's largest shareholder and financial backstop. Rare earths are a group of 17 metals used to make magnets that turn power into motion, including the devices that make cellphones vibrate. They are also used to make weapons, electric vehicles, and many other electronics. China halted rare earths exports in March following a trade spat with U.S. President Donald Trump that showed some signs of easing late last month, even as broader tensions underscored demand for non-Chinese supply. As part of the agreement, Apple will pre-pay Las Vegas-based MP Materials $200 million for a supply of magnets slated to begin in 2027. The magnets will be produced at MP's Fort Worth, Texas, facility using magnets recycled at MP's Mountain Pass, California, mining complex, the companies said. "Rare earth materials are essential for making advanced technology, and this partnership will help strengthen the supply of these vital materials here in the United States," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement. Bob O'Donnell, president at market research firm TECHnalysis Research, said Tuesday's move "makes complete sense" given that Apple requires significant amounts of rare earth magnets for its devices. "Plus, by focusing on a U.S.-based supplier, it does help position Apple more positively in Washington," he said. Apple, which said the deal is part of its $500-billion four-year investment commitment to the U.S., has faced threats from Trump over iPhones not made in the U.S. But many analysts have said making the iPhone in the U.S. is not possible, given labor costs and the existing smartphone supply chain. MP already produces mined and processed rare earths and has said it expects to start commercial magnet production in its Texas facility by the end of this year. Last week's deal with the U.S. government includes a price floor for rare earths designed to spur investment in domestic mines and processing plants, which has been lagging partly due to low prices set in China.
