Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has again denied reports that he plans to resign after his party's historic election defeat

The reports come after Trump announced a trade deal with Japan, and days after Ishiba's governing coalition lost its majority in the country's upper house.

Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on Wednesday denied reports of planning to resign after his ruling party’s historic defeat in last weekend’s legislative elections, saying instead he wanted to make sure a new tariff agreement with the United States was appropriately implemented.
