Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is expected to be re-elected in a parliamentary vote despite losing his party's majority in the recent national elections. With an upcoming meeting with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, Ishiba's government faces challenges in passing significant legislation due to a weakened coalition. As he prepares for international summits, Ishiba may need support from the opposition to approve a proposed ¥13 trillion budget, with concerns regarding his leadership longevity and potential calls for his replacement within the party.
