Closing trade deal only possible after Japan's upper house election in July

Japan rolled out the red carpet for US President Donald Trump this week, winning Tokyo a brief respite in its trade battle with Washington, but Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe faces pressure to deliver concessions after a summer election.

Trump on Tuesday wound up a four-day state visit featuring golf, sumo, a state dinner with newly enthroned Emperor Naruhito and inspections of US and Japanese warships meant to showcase the alliance, but it was all shadowed by a feud over the two-way trade gap. Trump and his wife Melania boarded Air Force One at Tokyo's Haneda airport and were headed back to Washington, via a refueling stop in Alaska.
