US President Donald Trump hopes Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will work to reduce US trade deficit with Japan. He says he thinks Abe "will be fair."
Trump was speaking at a rally in the state of Wisconsin on Saturday.
Trump said Japan exports cars with low tariffs to the United States, but does not buy agricultural products his country wants to export.
He said the US has been losing tens of billions of dollars to Japan and other countries for many decades.
Trump said Abe is one of his friends, but that Tokyo and Washington must do something to reduce the US trade deficit.
The two leaders met in the White House the previous day and agreed to speed up a round of bilateral trade talks.

Japanese-Americans and their supporters have criticized President Donald Trump's immigration policies as racist. Family members of former inmates and others gathered for the 50th anniversary of the beginning of annual visits to a World War Two internment camp.
Some 120,000 Japanese-Americans were sent to internment camps under an executive order signed by then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1942 following Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
More than 2,000 people took part in Saturday's ceremony organized by a Japanese-American group at Manzanar Historic Site in the US state of California.
A third-generation Japanese-American, Karen Korematsu, delivered a speech. She said people should not be indifferent, but must stand up to fight against injustice.
Her late father, Fred Korematsu, was arrested during the war for refusing to comply with the internment order. The US Supreme Court upheld his conviction.
His conviction was overturned four decades later after a long-term fight against racial discrimination and challenges to the constitutionality of the order.
Other speakers said nobody should be racially discriminated against ever again, and criticized Trump's strict immigration policy.
After the ceremony, participants laid flowers at the cenotaph and offered prayers for those who died in the camps.

Sri Lankan investigators say they suspect one of the suicide bombers in the coordinated Easter Sunday attacks was radicalized in Australia.
The authorities say Abdul Latheef Mohamed Jameel undertook a postgraduate degree in Australia for the four years until 2013.
An Australian media outlet reports that the country's police started investigating him after he was contacted by a man suspected to be a recruiter for the Islamic State group.
Jameel's sister told media that he returned to Sri Lanka as a different man. The suspect grew a long beard and repeated extremist ideas.
Sri Lankan investigators say other attackers were also well educated and came from relatively wealthy families.
The bombings hit hotels and churches in Sri Lanka on April 21, killing 253 people. Most of the attacks occurred in and around the largest city, Colombo.
Sri Lankan investigators have determined that eight men and a woman from a local Muslim extremist group carried out the attacks.

Visiting Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono has pledged to help women in Saudi Arabia take an active role in society. He also said that he hopes to see Japan's investment in the Middle East increase.
Kono visited a Japan-affiliated plant that manufactures diapers and sanitary products outside of the capital, Riyadh.
He was briefed by a female manager as he toured the plant. He watched about 80 women working on a diaper packaging line.
