Theresa May to try to allay Japan's fears on trade with UK post-Brexit
Tokyo
BRITAIN'S prime minister Theresa May arrived in Japan on Wednesday to carry out what some say is currently almost a "mission impossible" - to convince Japan that the UK will be as attractive an economic partner once it is outside the European Union (EU) as it is at present within it.
At the start of her three-day visit, she in effect acknowledged that Britain would be unable to offer Japan and other trade partners the certainty they need about their future relationship with the UK until the Brexit process is decided.
