Former Minister of Economy and Security Takayuki Kobayashi of the Liberal Democratic Party appeared on Fuji TV's "Sunday Report THE PRIME." Regarding the tariff policy of President Trump, who will be returning to the White House in the United States, he said, "Japan must also say what it needs to say." Kobayashi of the Liberal Democratic Party said that if the next Trump administration indicates its intention to raise tariffs on Japanese cars, "Japan must also say what it needs to say strongly," and that Japan should take a strong stance, such as by requesting a review of the trade agreement regarding American agricultural products. In addition, Acting Representative of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan Akira Nagatsuma said, regarding diplomacy with the Trump administration, "Japan needs to properly distinguish between the asking price and the true intention and act accordingly." The program discussed economic security issues. The program also discussed Japan's economic risks facing China, where a series of random killings have been occurring, and the social unrest that is said to be behind them, as well as the energy issues of concern in the Ukraine war, which is becoming protracted and intensifying.
