[Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi: No Intention to renegotiate $550 billion investment package with the US] Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said on Saturday that she has no intention of renegotiating the $550 billion investment package agreement reached with the United States. Speaking to reporters after a week of diplomatic activity, including a summit with US President Trump, Takaichi said, "I believe that even with a change of prime minister, the commitments between governments should not change." Takaichi declined to comment on the trade agreement signed between South Korea and the United States, as details of the agreement have not yet been disclosed. Before taking office as prime minister last month, Takaichi had stated that renegotiating tariffs with Washington was not impossible if circumstances arose that were detrimental or unfair to Japan's national interests.
