He has battled the gastrointestinal disease ulcerative colitis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would like to sincerely apologize to the people of Japan for leaving my post with one year left in my term of office, and amid the coronavirus woes, while various policies are still in the process of being implemented,\u201d Abe said in his farewell announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Early this week Japanese media reported that Trade Secretary Liz Truss and Japans Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi would speak again this week as time ticks down to get the deal agreed at a political level. There have been reports that the deal has made it across the line with the final issues on agricultural access resolved.<\/p>\n<p>Japan has said time is of the essence and has given several deadlines for talks, including late July, early August and late August. The nation has been concerned about getting the deal through its parliament, the Diet, so it is ready to take effect after the Brexit transition period ends December 31.<\/p>\n<p>Abes resignation, however,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/shinzo-abe-resignation-uk-japan-trade-deal-future-uncertain\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More \u2013 Source<\/a><br \/>\n[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snap.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/politico-logo.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">politico<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>[contfnewc]<br \/>\n[contfnewc]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON \u2014 The future of the U.K.-Japan trade deal is uncertain following the resignation of Prime Min..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":151121,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[202],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-151120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
