Japan PM Ishiba to decide his future after assessing tariff talks progress, Yomiuri says
TOKYO, July 23 (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is planning to decide on his future after assessing progress in tariff negotiations with the United States, Yomiuri newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Ishiba is facing growing opposition from within his own Liberal Democratic Party for his vow to stay in power, despite the ruling coalition's bruising defeat in Sunday's upper house election.
The prime minister is planning to hold a press conference to announce his decision once the tariff negotiations' outcome becomes clear, the newspaper reported without citing its sources.
Japan's top tariff negotiator Ryosei Akazawa is in the U.S. for his eighth round of talks. Japan's Asahi newspaper reported Akazawa met with President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday.
