Biden, Jr., in Washington, D.C., today, U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo met with Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry Saito Ken and Philippine Department of Trade and Industry Secretary Alfredo Pascual for a groundbreaking discussion on our shared interests in strengthening trilateral economic cooperation.
