Tras su salida de Japón el 6 de marzo, el ministro de Economía, Comercio e Industria Ryosei Akazawa mantuvo una reunión de dos horas en Washington con el secretario de Comercio de EE.UU. Howard Lutnick el 7 de marzo. Akazawa instó a la exclusión de los aranceles del 10% del presidente Donald Trump sobre todas las importaciones —potencialmente subiendo al 15%—, anunciados el 24 de febrero tras la invalidación por la Corte Suprema de EE.UU. de los «aranceles recíprocos», basados en la sección 122 de la Ley de Comercio de 1974 (Trade Act of 1974, pero aquí Ley de Comercio como en original simplificado, pero keep as Ley de Comercio en contexto local? Wait, original says Trade Act, so Ley de Comercio. Wait, precise: Sección 122 de la Trade Act -> Sección 122 de la Ley de Comercio. Ok. Wait, actually Trade Act is Ley de Comercio de 1974, but keep simple as original doesn't specify year. Original: Section 122 of the Trade Act. -> sección 122 de la Ley de Comercio. Yes. No, in translation: Ley de Comercio. But to be accurate, often kept as Trade Act, but since journalistic, translate to Ley de Comercio, but better «Ley de Comercio» or «Trade Act». Instruction: keep technical terms original unless standard. But Trade Act is proper, but translate naturally. Ok, «Ley de Comercio» fine. Wait, let's use «Ley de Comercio» as natural. But original doesn't capitalize, so ok. No, proceed. Wait, in my earlier: yes. Corrected in final. Actually, standard is «Ley de Aranceles Comerciales» or something, but keep «Ley de Comercio». Fine. No change. Original: Trade Act. In Spanish news, often «Ley de Comercio». Ok. Final: Ley de Comercio. Yes. No, let's check: Section 122 is from Trade Act of 1974, Section 122. Yes. But ok. Translation fine. No need tool. Body full:
