【Japan may not reach a trade agreement with the United States before the end of July】Golden Finance reports that Japan has signaled its readiness to reach a better agreement with U.S. President Donald Trump on trade tariffs, rather than risk domestic political backlash by reaching an agreement. Japan is eager to avoid any deterioration in relations with Washington, and Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba initially prioritized being the first among countries to enter the U.S. negotiating table. However, officials and analysts indicate that business leaders and members of Ishiba's Liberal Democratic Party are urging him to reject any agreement that jeopardizes the automotive industry or threatens domestic farmers, forcing him to reconsider. “While Japan is very eager to be the first country to negotiate with Washington on tariff issues, this sense of urgency has now shifted to ensuring that Japan gets a good deal,” a Japanese official stated. Officials say it is unlikely that an agreement will be reached before the Japanese Senate elections. The Japanese Senate elections are scheduled for the end of July and are expected to be a major test for the extremely unpopular Ishiba government. (Golden Ten)
