11.05.2025 โข Day of Fragile Ceasefires and Direct Negotiations
โจThe India-Pakistan ceasefire, brokered yesterday with US mediation, dominated early reporting but remained fragile as both nations accused each other of violations. Trump continued offering assistance while the US claimed credit for the diplomatic breakthrough.
By mid-morning, attention shifted to Prime Minister Ishiba's firm stance against US auto tariffs, vowing Japan would "stand its ground" in demanding their removal. This follows Toyota's reported 35% profit forecast drop directly attributed to these tariffs.
Russia proposed direct negotiations with Ukraine, with Zelensky reportedly supporting the initiative. This marks a potential diplomatic opening after years of conflict.
Economic coverage highlighted record inflows into high-risk US investment funds, raising concerns about market volatility. Domestically, Japan reported a significant 60% increase in Myanmar workers, with young people fleeing the coup finding opportunities in manufacturing and care sectors, quietly advancing Japan's immigration landscape despite traditional caution.
