[Visit to the United Kingdom (2)] On June 14, 2026 (local time), Prime Minister Takaichi, who was visiting London, the United Kingdom, attended the Japan-UK Business Roundtable and a signing ceremony. She later attended a business reception as well. At the Business Roundtable, Prime Minister Takaichi made the following remarks: Thank you very much to all the business leaders from Japan and the United Kingdom for joining us today. At the Japan-UK Summit Meeting earlier today, Prime Minister Starmer and I held a highly strategic discussion on the current international situation, with an eye toward the G7 Summit that begins tomorrow. Among the issues we discussed, achieving an early de-escalation of the situation in Iran remain urgent priorities for Japan, the United Kingdom, and the international community. This includes ensuring free and safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. We reaffirmed our commitment to maintaining close communication and continuing persistent diplomatic efforts together. Security cooperation forms the foundation of the strong relationship between Japan and the United Kingdom. In particular, I heard some very encouraging words from Prime Minister Starmer  on the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), which stands at the core of our bilateral security cooperation. I welcome the fact that the conditions are now in place to accelerate this important initiative even further. We also agreed to deepen cooperation in such areas as cyber security and the defence industrial sector. At the same time, since Japan and the United Kingdom are leading economic and technological powers, strengthening economic cooperation between our two countries is therefore of great importance. Today, here in the United Kingdomâthe birthplace of the Industrial Revolutionâwe are launching the Frontier Tech Partnership with the aim of our two countries leading the advanced technological revolution of this century together. Prime Minister Starmer and I are committed to further promoting cooperation in science and technology. This Business Roundtable is a symbolic demonstration of how companies from our two countries are advancing concrete cooperation in step with the efforts of our governments. I am delighted to see tangible progress being made across a wide range of strategic fields, including energy and innovationâsuch as offshore wind, nuclear energy, and fusion energyâas well as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and cybersecurity. In addition, I firmly believe that cooperation between the outstanding companies of Japan and the United Kingdom will not only generate jobs and economic growth in our two countries, but will also contribute to prosperity across the international community.  The theme of today's Roundtableâeconomic securityâis of critical importance. Economic security and economic growth are mutually reinforcing. Last month, I announced the updated Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP). This year marks the tenth anniversary of FOIP. One of its key pil

Morocco Fertilizer ImportsDuty-Free Phosphate Fertilizer from Morocco

Summary

The President declares an emergency and authorizes the temporary duty-free importation of phosphate fertilizer from Morocco. This action aims to address global supply chain disruptions and ensure a stable food supply for the United States.

[DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY AND AUTHORIZATION FOR TEMPORARY DUTY FREE IMPORTATION OF PHOSPHATE FERTILIZER FROM MOROCCO] BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 1. Fertilizers are an essential component of agriculture and food production. Producers of corn, soybeans, wheat, and a variety of other crops need phosphate fertilizers to ensure strong crop yields to feed the population. Food production is critical to human health, farm security, and to the function of major sectors of the economy, and even isolated interruptions in food production can have serious health and economic consequences. Robust and reliable food production is therefore critical to the economic and national security of the United States. 2. During the planting and growing season, soil and crops require critical nutrients, including the phosphorus supplied by phosphate fertilizers, and in the coming months, farmers will apply more than half of annually consumed phosphate fertilizers between the fall and very early spring prior to next spring’s planting. To ensure a stable food supply, predictable and timely sources of phosphate fertilizer must be procured to meet United States demand, which requires adequate supply of phosphate fertilizer, a critical type of plant food. 3. Global supply chains for phosphate fertilizer and fertilizer inputs, including imports of such products into the United States, have been disrupted in recent months by, among other things, conflicts in fertilizer-producing regions as well as trade actions taken by major fertilizer-producing countries. For example, the United States’ largest foreign source of phosphate fertilizer has experienced supply chain disruption, placing additional pressure on the farm economy and the production of certain categories of domestic food. Persistent threats to the global fertilizer supply chain, which create rapid price increases and procurement challenges, require the United States to procure phosphate fertilizer from diversified foreign sources to mitigate the significant risk of harm to the agricultural food production of the United States. 4. Currently, United States production of phosphate fertilizer is insufficient to support domestic agricultural food production after accounting for exports. The Federal Government is working with the private sector to expand domestic fertilizer manufacturing capacity, but those efforts will take time to increase the supply materially. Immediate action is necessary and appropriate to ensure in the interim that United States farmers have access to a sufficient and timely supply of phosphate fertilizers during the planting and growing season, to ensure a stable domestic crop supply, and to meet our food production needs. 5. Producers in countries such as the Kingdom of Morocco can supply phosphate fertilizers to the United States without disruption at this time. It is imperative to immediately facilitate importation of phosphate fertilizers from the Kingdom of Morocco to mitigate the significant risk to the agricultural food production of the United States, to safeguard
