Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba announced his resignation after a year in office, citing the conclusion of negotiations on US tariffs. The agreement, which reduced tariffs on Japanese car imports to 15 percent, represents a significant trade shift. Ishiba stated his departure is a strategic move to allow the Liberal Democratic Party to address its internal decision-making process. The upcoming vote will likely influence future policy regarding relations with China.
