Clinton praises steps taken by Japanese leader Hand jam WASHINGTON (AP) — President Clinton praised the “very strong steps” taken by Japanese Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi to revive Japan’s econo my and ease a severe global financial crisis. Both nations agreed on a pack age of trade deals the administration hopes will mean expanded sales for U.S. companies. But in a clear sign of rising trade ten sions between the world’s two largest economies, Clinton warned during Obuchi’s visit Monday that a flood of Japanese steel into the United States must be halted. “We will take action if steel imports do not return to their pre-crisis levels on a consistent basis,” he said, repeat ing a threat he first made in January that his administration will initiate cas es to impose penalty tariffs on Japan ese steel shipments to protect the U.S. industry. Obuchi, making the first official vis it to the United States by a Japanese prime minister in 12 years, said his government is tackling the root cause of rising steel imports into the United States — a financial crisis that has pushed one-third of the world, includ ing Japan, into recession. “1 explained to the president that Japan is swiftly and boldly taking every measure in order to address the diffi culties we are facing,” Obuchi said at a news conference with Clinton. He pre dicted that those efforts will result in a “major turnaround” that will pull Japan out of its worst recession in 50 years. lie Bati - MIKE FUENTESThf B Jeremy Swift, a sophomore biochemistry major, returns serve of Brett Payne, a sophomore business major,ins handball game Monday afternoon.
