By Tim Kelly KANANASKIS, Alberta (Reuters) -Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to push ahead with trade talks on Monday, but failed to achieve a breakthrough that would lower or eliminate tariffs that threaten to hobble the Japanese economy.

The leaders of Britain and the United States had announced a deal last month, but it had not been clear when their agreement would go into effect. Britain hailed the announcement as “a huge win.”

President Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said they had signed a trade deal that the leaders had agreed to last month. Trump said the relationship with Britain was "just fantastic," as he stood to Starmer.
