Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's attempt to persuade U.S. President Donald Trump to ease tariffs threatening Japan's economy fell short during the G7 summit in Canada. Ishiba aimed to address a 25% tariff on imported cars, vital for Japan's auto industry, but the meeting yielded no progress, casting doubt on Ishiba's diplomatic efforts ahead of a crucial election. With Trump indicating limited willingness to negotiate, Ishiba now faces the challenge of maintaining political stability amid rising economic pressures worsened by impending tariffs.
