Trump decarbonization retreat forces Japan Inc. to revise strategy
YUJI OHIRA and AZUSA KAWAKAMI
HOUSTON, Texas/NEW YORK -- U.S. President Trump's new tax and spending legislation is expected to mark a major retreat in the country's decarbonization strategy, forcing Japanese companies to revise investment plans on electric vehicles and renewable energy.
Under the law enacted Friday, the U.S. is projected to cut about $500 billion in climate-related spending over the next decade through 2034. Many support measures introduced under the Inflation Reduction Act, a signature Biden-era law aimed at developing green industries, will be either abolished or significantly scaled back.

Emperor, empress begin weeklong visit to Mongolia that will honor POWs
Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako walk with Mongolian Foreign Minister Batmunkh Battsetseg, right, after arriving at Chinggis Khaan International Airport near Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, on Sunday. Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako began a weeklong visit to Mongolia on Sunday during which he plans to honor thousands of Japanese prisoners of World War II who were held under harsh conditions in the country. Naruhito's visit marks the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII. In recent years, he has toured some of the places where the bloodiest battles and bombings occurred, including Iwo Jima, Okinawa and Hiroshima. The emperor has said it's part of his effort at atonement and remembrance of the tragedy of war fought in the name of his grandfather, Emperor Hirohito. While the vast majority of Japanese soldiers were taken to Siberia, around 12,000 to 14,000 ended up in Mongolia, which was fighting alongside the Soviets against Japan. Most of the POWs were put to hard labor and construction work for the Mongolian government's headquarters, a state university and a theater that are still preserved in the capital Ulaanbaatar. The prisoners toiled under harsh conditions and scarce food. Japanese records show about 1,700 of them died in Mongolia. 'As we mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the war this year, we should never forget the pain and sorrow of the people,' Naruhito said last week. 'I believe it is important to not forget those who died, deepen understanding of the wartime past and to nurture the peace-loving heart.' Naruhito and Masako are scheduled to meet Mongolia's President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh and his wife and attend a banquet on Tuesday. The couple will also attend the opening ceremony of Naadam, Mongolia's annual festival that focuses on three traditional games of horseracing, wrestling and archery. Naruhito had previously visited Mongolia as crown prince in 2007. Associated Press writer Mari Yamaguchi contributed to this report. © Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

70% of shops hit by massive Noto quake see no prospects of rebuilding
Retsuko Hirata displays products at her shop at a provisional facility in Wajima, Ishikawa Prefecture, on June 3. Seventy percent of shops and restaurants currently operating from temporary facilities in the earthquake-hit Noto Peninsula in central Japan have no prospects of returning to their original locations, a Kyodo News survey showed. Nearly half of the 46 businesses facing difficulties cited a lack of funding as the main obstacle, amid falling customer numbers and sales following the magnitude-7.6 quake that struck Ishikawa Prefecture on New Year's Day last year. The survey was based on interviews conducted in early June with 64 of some 70 businesses operating in 15 makeshift spaces or buildings offered rent-free in the region. More than 40 percent of the respondents saw their shops completely destroyed in the disaster. Of the respondents, 40 said their income fell, with 33 of them citing fewer customers. Asked about their current concerns, 44 cited declines in customers and revenues, while 23 were worried about securing funds for restarting. Retsuko Hirata, who runs a shop selling Japanese sake and clothing items at an arcade in Wajima, said revenue has dropped by 20 percent from before the quake. "I am worried whether I can carry on my business as the number of tourists has dropped and the population continues to decline," she said. The region facing the Sea of Japan has been a popular tourist destination for fresh seafood, hot spring spas and traditional artwork, including lacquerware. The quake claimed more than 600 lives, including those who died from related health issues afterward, and caused over 160,000 houses to fully or partially collapse across Ishikawa, Niigata, Toyama and Fukui prefectures. © KYODO
