TOKYO, July 23 (Xinhua) — Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has told close aides he intends to step down by August after the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) conducts an internal review of its defeat in the recent House of Councillors election, the Mainichi newspaper reported Wednesday.
Ishiba is expected to meet with senior LDP officials later on Wednesday to discuss his political future.
Although Mr Ishiba initially announced his decision to remain in office despite the election setback, calls for his resignation have intensified within the party. However, the timing of his departure remains uncertain, the report said.
US President Donald Trump announced on social media that the US and Japan have reached a trade deal that includes 15 percent tariffs on American imports from the country.
Asked how the trade deal would affect his political future, Ishiba said: “I cannot comment until I thoroughly study the contents of the agreement.” –0–
