Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has pledged to remain in power despite recent election setbacks. This commitment comes as Japan prepares for critical trade negotiations with the United States. The election also saw significant gains for a far-right party known for its xenophobic views, raising concerns about the country's political direction and social climate. Ishiba's leadership will be tested as he navigates both international economic pressures and rising domestic extremism.
