TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan has already initiated communication with the United States following President Donald Trump's order on formulating plans for tariff proposal, a government spokesperson said on Friday.

"We've already begun communicating with the U.S. side," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi told reporters. "Our country will respond appropriately while carefully examining the specific details of the measures that will be announced in the future and their impact on our country."

Trump tasked his economics team with devising plans for reciprocal tariffs on every country taxing U.S. imports.
