Japan's government decided on an emergency economic package on Friday to help alleviate the pain on industries and households from sweeping U.S. tariffs, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said on Friday.

TOKYO: Japan won't just keep conceding to US demands to reach a deal over tariffs, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said, in some of his most combative remarks since President Donald Trump launched a push for more access to Tokyo's sensitive auto and agricultural sectors as part of his global trade war.

In response to the recent tariffs imposed by the United States, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has unveiled a package of urgent economic measures aimed at softening the financial blow for both industries and households.
