Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba announced his intention to visit the US to negotiate a comprehensive tariff deal with President Trump, particularly in light of the impending 24% tariff on Japanese imports. Ishiba aims to advocate for a package deal that includes proposals on liquefied natural gas, automotive trade, and agriculture. Despite Japan being a significant investor in the US, Ishiba's popularity is declining amid the trade dispute, with a recent poll indicating that over half of the Japanese public supports retaliatory measures against the US.
