トランプ政権、リビアにも不法移民を強制送還か＝関係筋
[ワシントン ６日 ロイター] - トランプ米大統領が今週にも不法移民をリビアに初めて強制送還する可能性があると、政府高官３人が６日に明かした。移民取り締まりの一環だが、米政府はこれまでリビアにおける囚人の扱いを非難してきた。
高官２人によると、強制送還は早ければ７日にも米軍機で行われる可能性がある。
ホワイトハウス、国務省、国土安全保障省にコメントを求めたが、返答は得られていない。ロイターは、送還される移民の数や対象となる移民の国籍は特定できなかった。
国土安全保障省（ＤＨＳ）によると、トランプ政権は５日時点で１５万２０００人を強制送還した。政権は不法移民をキューバのグアンタナモ米海軍基地やエルサルバドルに強制送還することで、自発的な退去を促そうとしている。
国務省は昨年公表した人権に関する報告書で、リビアの刑務所について「過酷で生命を脅かすような環境」などと批判していた。
政府高官によると、政権は数週間前からリビアなどの国々を移民受け入れ先として検討しているという。ただ、リビア当局が外国籍の強制送還者を受け入れることに合意したかは分かっていない。

Japan's Ishiba warns against tension over tariffs and vows to expand Asia-Pacific trade group
Japanese Prime Minsiter Shigeru Ishiba on Thursday showed his determination to defend rules-based free and multilateral trade systems and take a leadership role to expand the Asia-Pacific trade group at a time of deepening tensions and divisions over U.S. tariffs and trade wars. 'High tariffs will not bring economic prosperity," Ishiba told a global forum in Tokyo. "A prosperity built on sacrifices by someone or another country will not make a strong economy." Japan seeks to work with the U.S. on investment, job creation and manufacturing high quality products for the prosperity of America and the rest of the world, he said. His comment comes as Japan's chief tariff negotiator Ryosei Akazawa travels to Washington, D.C., for a fourth round of talks attempting to convince the U.S. to drop all recent tariff measures. So far Japan has not been successful in gaining U.S. concessions and is reportedly considering purchases of more U.S. farm products and defense equipment as bargaining chips. Akazawa told reporters that defense equipment purchases could 'come into view' during the talks because Japan's purhases of defense equipment would contriubute to the U.S. trade surplus, though Japanese security policy is not subject to "a deal' with another country. Ishiba also called on other countries in Asia, a global hub of growth, to show 'the importance of rules-based, free and fair economic order," and said the way to demonstrate it is the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, or CPTPP. Ishiba pledged Japan will work toward further expanding and upgrading the framework, which not only contributes to the economy but also to peace and prosperity. The 12-nation CPTPP includes Japan, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. The U.S. is not a member. While Tokyo is strengthening economic ties with Southeast Asia and Europe, Japan still considers the United States as its lynchpin of security policies and is not walking away from their alliance.

Japan PM warns financial condition worse than Greece's
Japanese prime minister Shigeru Ishiba said his country's financial condition was worse than Greece 's as he rejected calls for tax cuts at a time of rising borrowing costs. Mr Ishiba said he didn't think it was a good idea to fund tax cuts with government bonds just days after the economy was reported to have shrunk for the first time in a year, and at a pace faster than expected, in the face of US president Donald Trump 's trade policies. Opposition parties have been putting pressure on Mr Ishiba to cut taxes, including consumption tax. Japan 's GDP for the March quarter contracted by 0.7 per cent as against the median market forecast of 0.2 per cent, data released last week showed. 'It's important to recognise the dangers of a society and a world with interest rates. The government is not in a position to comment on interest rates, but the reality is we are facing a world with them. Our country's fiscal situation is undoubtedly extremely poor, worse than Greece 's,' the prime minister told the parliament on Monday. ' Japan is seeing interest rates turn positive and its fiscal state is not good," he said, warning of the rising costs of funding the already enormous national debt. "While tax revenues are rising, social welfare costs are also increasing.' According to the International Monetary Fund, Japan's general government debt as a percentage of gross domestic product stood at 234.9 per cent as of 2025 while it was at 142.2 per cent for Greece. Japan, however, has managed to escape a fiscal crisis of the kind Greece witnessed in 2009 because domestic investors hold most of its sovereign debt and it remains a major creditor to other nations with significant foreign asset holdings. Finance minister Katsunobu Kato said while Japan was not facing difficulty raising funds through debt issuance now, it must strive to maintain market trust in its finances. "A loss of market trust in our finances could lead to sharp rises in interest rates, a weak yen and excessive inflation that would have a severe impact on the economy," Mr Kato told the same parliament session. The decline in GDP is being attributed to stagnant private consumption and falling exports, suggesting Japan's economy was losing support from overseas demand even before Mr Trump announced sweeping import tariffs on almost all major trading partners in early April. Japan faces the prospect of at least a 24 per cent levy starting in July unless it can negotiate a deal with Washington. In addition, the US has announced a 25 per cent import levy on cars, steel and aluminium, dealing a blow to Japan's economy which relies heavily on automobile exports to America. Japanese automakers, in fact, are already feeling the pain.

リビアへの不法移民強制送還、米連邦地裁が認めない判断
[ワシントン ７日 ロイター] - トランプ米政権が今週にも不法移民を初めてリビアに強制送還する可能性が浮上してきた中で、マサチューセッツ州の連邦地裁が７日、こうした措置は送還対象者が移送先で迫害される恐れがないかどうかの審査なしで強制送還を実行するのを禁じた先の裁判所命令に対する「明確な」違反であり、強制送還は認められないとの判断を示した。 ロイターは６日、米政府がこれまでリビアにおける囚人の扱いを非難してきたにもかかわらず、早ければ７日にも米軍機で不法移民が同国に送られる可能性があると伝えていた。 この報道を受け、人権団体などがマサチューセッツ州の連邦地裁に対して、これらの人々を正当な手続きを経ずにリビアに直接、ないし第三国経由で送るのを差し止める仮処分を申し立てた。 訴えを起こした弁護士らによると、リビアへの強制送還対象者にはラオスやベトナム、フィリピンなどの国籍を持つ人々も含まれている。 トランプ大統領はリビアに不法移民を強制送還する計画について記者団から質問されると「知らない。国土安全保障省に聞くべきだ」とだけ答えた。 国土安全保障省からはコメント要請に回答がない。 リビアの首都トリポリを拠点とする暫定政権と、東部トブルクを拠点とする「リビア国民軍（ＬＮＡ）」はいずれも、米国から送られてくる不法移民の受け入れを拒否している。 私たちの行動規範： トムソン・ロイター「信頼の原則」, opens new tab Phil Stewart トムソン・ロイター Phil Stewart has reported from more than 60 countries, including Afghanistan, Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, China and South Sudan.
