Japanese media on October 11 continued to focus on the political fallout from the Komeito party's withdrawal from the ruling coalition, with early reports from Nikkei Shimbun highlighting intensified maneuvering for prime ministerial candidates like Takaichi or Tamaki ahead of the Diet session. By late morning, Yahoo News Japan indicated Komeito was considering partial withdrawal from single-member constituencies, and LDP members expressed concerns about upcoming elections. Concurrently, President Trump's escalating trade war with China, with new tariffs and export controls, received attention, alongside warnings from former U.S. Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns against an "America First" approach. Typhoon 23 also posed threats to the Amami and Izu Islands throughout the day.
