Shigeru Ishiba Steps Down After U.S. Tariff Talks

• Shigeru Ishiba, Japan’s Prime Minister, announced his resignation after less than a year in power.

• The announcement comes amid rising food prices and the impact of U.S. tariffs on Japan’s auto sector.

• Ishiba urged the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) to prepare for a leadership election, stating he would stay in position until then.

• U.S. President Trump signed an order to lower tariffs on Japanese autos, but the 15% tariff will still cause significant industry pain.
