Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba says he’s resigning
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said on Sunday he had decided to resign, ushering in a potentially lengthy period of policy paralysis at a shaky moment for the world’s fourth-largest economy.
Ishiba, 68, instructed his Liberal Democratic Party – which has governed Japan for almost all of the post-war era – to hold an emergency leadership race, he told a press conference, adding he would continue his duties until his successor was elected.
Since coming to power less than a year ago, Ishiba has overseen his ruling coalition lose its majorities in elections for both houses of parliament amid voter anger over rising living costs.
Until Sunday, he had refused calls to step down following the latest of those losses in July’s upper house vote. He had focused instead on ironing out details of a trade deal with the United States on President Donald Trump’s tariffs, which have roiled Japan’s critical automotive industry and cast a shadow over weak growth.
“With Japan having signed the trade agreement and the president having signed the executive order, we have passed a key hurdle,” Ishiba said, his voice seeming to catch with emotion. “I would like to pass the baton to the next generation.”
Speculation over Ishiba’s fate was stoked by the LDP’s decision to schedule a vote for Monday on whether to hold an extraordinary leadership election.

That's what Japan gets for trusting America. 550 billion investment in America and what does Japan gets? Japan's economy would've overtaken America in 1990s, but Then they trusted America and we're destroyed. Japan never colonised by whites still acts like a colonised colony for the whites. Idk why.

America, the self-proclaimed messiah of democracy, is actually the world's biggest invisible killer of democracy
He just crashed the Japanese economy. He shouldn’t have made a deal with the United States government. Trump is going to change that rate in 2 months. Japan doesn’t have the money to bail out the United States economy and if Japanese government wants to help its citizens sale US bonds because Japan is digging a hole. Trump is bankrupting the Japanese economy. Just sit back and watch.
Is there a law where most anchors are now ✊🏾🙄 and or women?
Ishiba is a Christian, so no wonder he's fine with Immigration. Japan, reject Christianity and Islam! Abrahamism is the death of any nation's ancient values. Christianity is at odds with idea of you remaining to be Japanese. Think of your ancestors and what they'd want for you, your children, and your country.
この男は日本の恥！！！
日本を墜落させた！！！
Worthy of emulation from phils.
He should have been invited when other countries met to talk about immigration. IMO
Who cares about this trump is still a pedo
Who cares about Japan, they and South Korea are staunch lap dogs of America.
Ishiba has not stated when he will resign, so it is unclear whether he will actually resign, and his statements cannot be trusted. Japan's biggest problem is that the LDP, which is heavily influenced by globalists, will continue to hold power for a long time to come, and the next prime ministerial candidate will be chosen in an election comprised only of LDP members. This means that a globalist, incompetent, traitorous prime minister like Ishiba will be born again.
We are holding demonstrations and campaigns to overthrow the LDP government, but because the major media are on the LDP's side and do not report the truth, elderly people who only watch TV and read newspapers still believe that the LDP is the only conservative party in Japan, so they vote for the LDP, and the organized votes of large corporations and organizations that want to benefit from the LDP put the LDP in power.
What a good man,
He not only doing the right thing but shows he has feelings.
Not something we will ever see from the FELON PRESIDENT
Japan has had economic and political difficulties for many decades.
With the current situation in the US this will likely get much worse.
No fault of the current or future Japanese Prime Ministers.
I'm not liking this
売国奴
It's a shame and it's not. He was about the only chance the LDP had to reform their image and party, but ultimately it wasn't enough. The question now is whether the opposition is organized enough to de-seat the LDP, or whether the party will default back to doubling down on the Shinzo Abeist policies which have been weighing them down for over a decade.
Another spineless leader gone 😂😂
It is very unfortunate for the Japanese people to have lost an excellent leader like Ishiba. I believe this is a significant loss not only for Japan but also for the United States and the world for the following reasons:
1. Understanding of Military Affairs: Mr. Ishiba is the only politician in Japan who comprehends the military balance among nations and can engage in Asian diplomacy for peace while maintaining the status quo.
2. Diplomatic Orientation Towards Peace: He loves peace and dislikes war. His commitment to seeking peace in Asia should be highly regarded. The negotiations for "mutual benefit" conducted multiple times by Minister Akazawa, whom Ishiba respects, are a good example of his diplomatic stance. This philosophy embodies the "spirit of harmony."
3. A politician capable of diplomatic negotiations with a spirit of harmony. He possesses the humility to sincerely apologize for Japan's past war crimes and can engage in diplomatic negotiations that promote mutual understanding and development. In contrast, politicians like Shinzo Abe and Taro Aso are more stereotypical.
If you were to collaborate with Ishiba to take action towards ending wars globally, I believe it would yield positive results. Many Japanese citizens have high expectations for an Ishiba cabinet, as public opinion polls showed support rates exceeding 60%. However, he was ousted due to ugly schemes from opposing factions within the Liberal Democratic Party, as reported by a corrupt media landscape aimed at foreign audiences.
The often reason or cause of the current japanese government s is the economy
Really, the ally Japan s is a planet in itegen
How dose the japanese governments resign
And some employees and managers commit suicide, if they do not accomplish their work properly ? = according planet or strategy
Instead of a section of the residents committing suicide hh and the other section resigning and fleeing to the ally USA and ally Canada
as the poor weaks – millions of miserable, plundered Mexico
Or as the third of the residents of the miserable collapsing Venezuela kk
Why japanese governments learn kk from the miserable Mexico and miserable collapsing Venezuela which is under the bottom hh
the miserable Mexico is it rules – president now Dracula
The another file comedy in the details
to days ago about , heavy rain fell in some municipalites in the provinces in the country Sweden Baltic on the Baltic
according channels 4 and 2 – news – video
It s not an exaggeration
As if almost a random hurricane and an random earthquake hit those municipalites
Iandslides
Water floods the some the roads
And around the some houses
And around the some lampposts
Dangling energy cables
Some roads are broken
And part of a railway line
And others
And none of the members of those current managements municipalites were present to view the position
Or members of the current parliament from those municipalites
Or the current ministers concerned with those files directly
Environment
Energy
Infrastructure
As a rain on random Mars
It is practical and useful to study and analyze the soil of those places – municipalites
And use of architecture
And use of geoengineering
People are pushing back on globalist threats to their republic
Donald Trump was ordered to pay $83.5 million in damages.

This liberal pm wanted to ruin Japan with open borders like the west…but the Japanese people say HELL. NO!
It’s an very good news for me as an Japanese.
Indian Modi will be next .. be ready Modi its your's turn now.. congratulations 🇺🇸
Unlike somebody in Taiwan, Ishiba at least has the decency to resign.
He was a puppet of China.
It has been known for several years that he was the victim of a honey trap set by China.
He is the worst prime minister in history, who assisted China in its invasion, distributed large amounts of money to immigrants, and destroyed Japan in just one year.
トランプ氏、石破辞任について
『知らない』🤣
トランプ氏、GJ✨
Ishiba was a liar and an idiot. Good for Japanese. but who is taking the seat?
Koizumi? 🥶
遅すぎる。 日本史上 最悪の首相。 外国に湯水のように金を流し、不法滞在外国人を激増させた。 外患誘致罪。
Kishida can run as the next prime minister.
彼は総理になりたいだけの人。総理になってやりたい仕事はなかった。任期中は国民の望まないことばかりしかしなかった。
Ur prime minister have a honor to step down on the position here.. now at Philippines our president is still have the Steele face not stepping down only the in Philippines 😅😂

石破首相、大変な中の日本の舵取りありがとうございました。お疲れさまでした。
でっかいあかちゃん。
世界の皆さん、これが日本の恥であり国賊です。
遅いけど、参院選の民意が反映されたのは良い事。遅いけど。
Why is it in the news ? It happens all the time in Japan
Woooow !!! How much great power The US Fuehrer has !!!!!💋💋
It was a cabinet that said something absurd like needing alternative tax increases to eliminate the "temporary" gasoline tax. He promoted immigration, threatened the citizens, repeatedly raised taxes, and was truly a despicable creature of mere words. Chinese money had infiltrated the cabinet, and the Foreign Minister, Iwaya, was treated as a bribery suspect in the United States. The media, contaminated by the left, published approval ratings far removed from reality, relentlessly defending him.
Ishiba claims that the tariff negotiations with the United States have reached a conclusion, but he did nothing at all. The United States, frustrated with Ishiba who refused to negotiate, simply cut things off on their own. The reason for Ishiba’s resignation is that he was fiercely criticized at home as “incompetent.” It is astonishing that the foreign media have been completely deceived by Ishiba’s lies.
