Japanese media on September 26 extensively focused on US President Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on imported brand-name pharmaceuticals starting October 1, with exemptions for domestic factory construction (Nikkei Shimbun, Yahoo News Japan). This development quickly prompted discussions about its negative impact on Asian drugmakers (Nikkei Asia) and spurred questions regarding Japan's potential exemption, with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry awaiting details (The Japan Times, Yahoo News Japan). The LDP's leadership vote and a potential Lower House election, a recurring theme from previous days, also continued to be reported (The Japan Times, Yahoo News Japan).
