Ishiba Reiterates Determination to Stay On

News from Japan Politics Jul 24, 2025 22:05 (JST) Tokyo, July 24 (Jiji Press)--Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on Thursday reiterated his intention to stay in office despite his ruling bloc's bruising defeat in Sunday's parliamentary election. "I want to continue to make every effort to ensure that this agreement is steadily implemented and to dispel concerns among domestic businesses," Ishiba told reporters, referring to the agreement reached in Japan-U.S. tariff negotiations. "It's important for I and the president to implement the agreement steadily," Ishiba said of U.S. President Donald Trump. Japan has as many as 4,318 items for export to the United States, the prime minister said. "I think (business operators) are very worried about what will happen to their export items."

Mitsubishi Motors' Q1 profit plummets as Trump tariffs bite

Mitsubishi Motors says its April-June profit fell partly because of a 14.4 billion yen U.S. tariff impact. (Photo by Yuki Nakao) YUICHI SHIGA TOKYO -- Mitsubishi Motors on Thursday announced an 84% year-on-year decline in its first-quarter operating profit, a sign of the "unprecedentedly challenging conditions" that followed U.S. President Donald Trump's imposition of a 25% tariff on cars in April. The Japanese automaker's operating profit fell to 5.6 billion yen ($35.5 million) in the April-June quarter, in part because of a 14.4 billion yen tariff impact. The company does not have a car assembly plant in the U.S., making it reliant on foreign production bases for sales in that market.
