BlockBeats reports that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is considering easing the pace of its bond purchase reductions starting next fiscal year in a bid to minimize disruptions in the bond market. The move follows a spike in yields on Japan’s super-long-term government bonds last month, which hit record highs amid growing investor unease over the country's worsening fiscal outlook.

Internal discussions reveal a lack of consensus within the BOJ: while some policymakers advocate for ongoing market intervention, others support keeping the current pace of tapering intact. The final decision is expected during the BOJ’s next policy meeting scheduled for June 16–17, during which the bank will review its current reduction strategy (set to run through March 2026) and discuss potential adjustments for the period beginning in April 2026.

A multi-billion dollar defense project may play a key role in trade negotiations between the U.S. and Japan.

According to the Japanese outlet Nikkei, former U.S. President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba held talks in May about potential cooperation on a massive missile defense system named the Golden Dome. The project is reportedly inspired by Israel’s "Iron Dome" system, known for intercepting incoming missile threats.
📞 The news comes just as Ryosei Akazawa, Japan’s chief trade negotiator, prepares to travel to Washington, D.C. for high-level talks regarding ongoing tariff disputes between the two countries.

Missile Shield Instead of a Trade War?
🔹 Sources close to the discussions say Japan’s participation in the Golden Dome defense project could be used as leverage to ease Trump-era tariffs.

The system is intended to protect both U.S. territory and its Asian allies by detecting and neutralizing ballistic threats. Its estimated cost is around $831 billion.
Both Trump and Ishiba are outspoken supporters of increased military spending, despite their nations' internal economic challenges. The Japanese prime minister, who openly refers to himself as a "defense maniac," has already pledged $1 trillion in investments into the U.S., even as Japanese citizens struggle with food prices and inflation.

Unanswered Questions
💬 These developments raise some major concerns:

🔹 Why is Japan committing funds to a massive military system while its population faces economic hardship?

🔹 Why is Trump pursuing a new defense shield while simultaneously pushing steep tariffs that undermine free trade and drive up costs for American consumers?
Controversy also surrounds the project's inspiration – Israel’s Iron Dome – which is frequently linked to ongoing military conflicts and criticisms of Israeli defense policies. Observers also point out that Ishiba is simultaneously funding an "active cyber defense system" while the country grapples with food shortages and the consequences of overtourism.

Target Year: 2029
Trump’s aim is to complete the Golden Dome project before the end of his potential next term in office, by 2029. The program is reportedly being led by General Michael Guetlein of the U.S. Space Force, who has been tasked with overseeing its implementation.
Whether this defense project becomes a bargaining chip to ease trade tensions, or simply a new chapter in the geopolitical arms race, remains to be seen. Japan's delegation heads to Washington tomorrow, and the outcomes may significantly impact both defense strategy and international trade dynamics between two global powerhouses.

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is planning a crucial visit to the United States shortly before the upcoming G7 summit in mid-June. His main goal? Prevent harsh new tariffs from the U.S., especially those targeting steel and aluminum exports.

🔹 Japan Faces Tariff Threats of Up to 50%

If talks with Washington fall through, Japan is staring down the barrel of a 24% tariff hike set to begin next month. On top of that, existing tariffs already include a 25% duty on automobiles, steel, and aluminum, and a 10% base import tax. President Donald Trump recently warned that tariffs on Japanese steel and aluminum could double to 50%, a scenario Prime Minister Ishiba has labeled “a national crisis.”

Negotiations Continue: Akazawa Back in Washington
Tokyo has repeatedly sent its chief negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, to Washington in an effort to defuse tensions. According to Yomiuri Shimbun, Akazawa is scheduled to return to the U.S. later this week, at which point Ishiba's visit will be decided.
While U.S. officials have yet to officially confirm any increase to 50%, Akazawa stated that the matter was not discussed in recent talks, though both sides agreed to resume negotiations in Canada from June 15 to 17.

🔹 U.S. Open to Dialogue, but Demands Remain

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described their latest talks with Japan as “sincere and constructive.” However, they emphasized the need to address both tariff and non-tariff barriers, encourage investment, and enhance cooperation on economic security and shared strategic interests.

Tokyo Calls for Full Tariff Elimination
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Akazawa reiterated that Japan continues to demand full elimination of U.S. tariffs—including those imposed on cars, steel, and aluminum.
“If our requests are met, we might reach a deal. But if not, it will be difficult to proceed,” he said at the Japanese embassy in Washington.

Earlier in May, PM Ishiba called for a zero-tariff agreement, but Tokyo has also made it clear that it won’t rush into any deal that would hurt Japan’s core industries, particularly automotive.
Some Japanese officials remain optimistic that a deal can be finalized by Trump’s birthday on June 14—perhaps as a symbolic gesture of goodwill.

US Steel Acquisition in the Spotlight
In parallel with tariff talks, Tokyo is closely monitoring Nippon Steel’s bid to acquire US Steel. While Akazawa declined to comment on the ongoing negotiations, he confirmed that Japan is following the situation closely, pending an official statement from the U.S. government.
Trump told reporters on the same day that the acquisition deal is still under review, awaiting his approval. He praised Nippon Steel’s commitment and said the deal could become “the largest investment in Pennsylvania’s history—not just in steel.”

💬 Interesting fact: If the U.S. raises tariffs to 50%, it could spark retaliatory measures across Asia and disrupt global supply chains in both the auto and metals industries.
