Japan government to compile economic measures to deal with inflation, tariffs - report

• The Sankei Shimbun newspaper reports on the matter

The report says that Japan's prime minister, Shigeru Ishiba, is wanting to make arrangements to instruct ministers to compile economic measures in order to address key concerns such as inflation and Trump's tariffs. The directive is said to be as early as this week.

Despite all the backlash, Ishiba continues to stay on in his role for now. And a lot of these steps are to try and repair the damage and trust. Many lawmakers are pressuring him to step down but so far, Ishiba has at least seen a rebound in public support. Japan's ruling LDP party will be finalising a report later today to review their defeat at the upper house elections from July.
