  • As the sense of “national crisis” over trade friction has waned, the limited truce with the opposition has faltered, and now opposition parties are attacking Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru for his “do nothing” government.
  • With just over a month left in the Diet session and two months until upper house elections, opposition parties are pressing the prime minister on pension reform, taxes, and inflation.
