22:18โขTrump Greenlights Nippon Steel-US Steel Partnership
โจThe newspapers report on President Trump's approval of Nippon Steel's acquisition of US Steel, forming a "partnership" after a national security review (The Japan Times, Nikkei Shimbun, Yahoo News Japan, Nikkei Asia). This represents a significant development in Japanese-American business relations. Meanwhile, domestic criticism mounts against Prime Minister Ishiba for allegedly having "no measures" to address rice price increases, with the Japan Business Press noting that similar situations would have triggered protests in France, while also highlighting Ishiba's apparent lack of reliable close aides.
