Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is keen on high-speed rail and lukewarm on tariffs, he said during an interview in Tokyo on Sunday, the day after a visit to the Yamanashi Maglev Test Track.

¡°We¡¯re big believers in transportation assets and being able to provide consistent and fast options for people to be able to go from where they live to where they work,¡± Moore told The Japan Times on the second day of a four-day trade and investment mission to Japan.

The governor explained that technology from Japan can help in the development of the Northeast Maglev in the United States.
