On tariff negotiations with the United States

 On the 13th, US President Trump stated that “Japan is rapidly changing its policy” in the Japan-US tariff negotiations. Although he did not disclose the specific details, it is possible that the Japanese government has made some concessions.

 Trump criticized Japan for “not importing our cars and importing almost no agricultural products,” but then clearly stated that Japan had changed its policy.




 On the 7th, Trump stated in a letter to Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba that the new “mutual tariffs” to be imposed on all imports from Japan starting August 1 would be set at 25%. Meanwhile, Ishiba had argued, “This is a battle for national interests. We won't let them walk all over us.”

After reading this article, I felt that Japan's response would be closely watched amid rising tensions between Japan and the United States.

The Soaring Price of Rice

イメージ
 　 Recently, we have been seeing a lot of news about the rising price of rice. 　From April to May 2025, the price of rice has continued to soar, with the price per 5 kg of rice exceeding 4,000 yen, having a significant impact on household food costs. 　This is due to a combination of factors, including a decrease in harvest volume caused by abnormal weather conditions, soaring costs of production materials such as fertilizers and pesticides, and an increase in import costs due to the weak yen. 　In addition, the government's release of rice stockpiles and the status of the 20-year harvest are expected to affect prices, but unless structural issues are resolved, it will be difficult to see a significant drop in prices. 　I found this news article to be a reminder that consumers need to be creative in saving money by comparing prices and buying in bulk. https://hikidashi.jp/article/747?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Ceasefire between India and Pakistan

イメージ
  India and Pakistan, which had been exchanging attacks, agreed to a cease-fire on April 10.  However, it was fragile, as the two sides claimed each other's violations immediately afterwards.  No clue has been found to resolve the territorial dispute over Kashmir, the cause of the confrontation, and the spark between India and Pakistan, which are de facto nuclear weapon states, has not disappeared.  This article made me think that if a war were to break out between these two nuclear powers, it would likely start World War III.
