US EditionIshiba Arrives in Canada for G7, with Trump Trade Deal on His Mind
- On Sunday, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba landed in Canada to participate in the G7 summit in Kananaskis, where he planned to hold discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump focusing on trade issues.
- Ishiba's visit follows several rounds of negotiations after Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Japanese cars, which threatens Japan's auto sector and Ishiba's fragile government.
- During the summit, Ishiba is expected to meet Trump and other leaders, including South Korea's Lee Jae-myung and Ukraine's Zelenskyy, while emphasizing G7 unity and global economic issues.
- Car exports to the U.S. fell nearly 5% in dollar value in April despite rising shipment volumes, indicating manufacturers may be absorbing costs, which is unsustainable according to analysts.
- The outcome of talks could shape upcoming elections in Japan and affect bilateral relations, as tariffs could reduce Japan's GDP by 0.9%, and analysts caution against conceding a bad deal.
