Japanese Prime Minister: US tariffs could disrupt the global economic order

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said on Monday that US tariffs threaten to disrupt the global economic order, issuing his strongest warning yet about the damage Trump's decision could do to the world economy. But he stressed that Japan would seek common ground with the US on how to cooperate on issues such as trade and national security. "When negotiating with the US, we need to understand the logic and emotional factors behind Trump's views," Ishiba told parliament. "I am fully aware that what is happening now has the potential to disrupt the global economic order," he said. Ishiba also said that the government is not currently considering an additional budget, but stands ready to take timely action to cushion the economic blow from US tariffs.
