Japanese media maintained its primary focus on US reciprocal tariffs, with initial reports detailing the 25% levy's anticipated severe impact on sectors like aircraft and construction machinery, potentially leading to increased bankruptcies. US communication regarding these tariffs was characterized as an "expression of dissatisfaction." A key development emerged during the day as reports indicated a three-week extension for tariff negotiations until August 1st. Significantly, US President Trump's letter suggested tariffs could be waived if production shifts to the United States, presenting a potential avenue for affected trade partners. This offered a new dimension to the ongoing trade tensions. Domestically, the third anniversary of former Prime Minister Abe's assassination also received attention, with reports focusing on sentencing aspects.
