Japan Reacts to Trump Tariff Threat
A senior Japanese official sidestepped U.S. President Donald Trump's warning that higher tariffs were coming for Tokyo because he did not see a trade deal happening, despite ongoing talks between the two countries. Trump said talks were stuck due to a Japanese refusal to accept U.S. rice imports in exchange for selling millions of cars into the American market, which the president called an "easy" demand for Tokyo to accept, Reuters reported. He said Japan could face a tariff of 30 to 35 percent if no deal is made, higher than the 24 percent reciprocal tariff Trump had originally imposed, and then paused, in early April. The tariff pause ends on July 9. "We are aware of President Trump's remarks, but we would like to refrain from commenting on every statement made by U.S. government officials," Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Kazuhiko Aoki said at a press briefing on Wednesday, July 2. "Having said that, I would like to mention that Japan and the United States are continuing sincere and earnest consultations vigorously, and during Minister Akazawa's recent visit to the United States, it was agreed to continue vigorous consultations between Japan and the United States. "Japan intends to continue sincere and earnest discussions vigorously toward realizing an agreement that benefits both Japan and the United States." Ryosei Akazawa is Japan's economic revitalization minister and has been leading the trade talks with the U.S. on behalf of Tokyo, regularly visiting Washington. This is a developing article.

Sunway Medical Centre Retains Malaysia's Top Spot In Paediatrics For Three Consecutive Years
BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 (Bernama) -- Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway City (SMC) retained its top spot for paediatrics in Malaysia for three years in a row, according to the latest Best Specialised Hospitals Asia Pacific (APAC) Newsweek 2025 rankings. SMC, in a statement today, said the country's largest private quaternary hospital ranks 30th for paediatrics and is also featured in the top 75 APAC hospitals for neurology, neurosurgery, cardiology, cardiac surgery, oncology and orthopaedics. President of Sunway Healthcare Group Datuk Lau Beng Long expressed pride for the continued recognition of its healthcare in the region, especially SMC's paediatrics being the top in Malaysia. He said SMC's Children's Health and Development Centre offers the most comprehensive paediatric subspecialties among hospitals in Malaysia, with 26 subspecialties and 50 consultants. He added that the hospital also pioneered the nation's first private hospital 24-hour standalone Children's Emergency Department, operating separately from the adult Accident & Emergency Department, serving as a one-stop centre that offers urgent, comforting care for infants, children and adolescents. 'The hospital also excels in exceptional niche paediatric expertise, including haematology, gastroenterology, oncology and transplant medicine. Sunway Medical Centre became the first private hospital in Malaysia to successfully perform a paediatric kidney transplant, yet another testament to its drive for clinical excellence. 'In addition, the hospital continuously enhances the depth and breadth of its other major adult clinical disciplines like cardiology, oncology, neurology, gastroenterology and orthopaedic surgery,' he said. Meanwhile, SMC Chief Executive Officer Dr Seow Vei Ken said the recognition reaffirms the hospital's commitment to clinical excellence and patient-centred care, especially paediatric services. 'Sunway Medical Centre continues to be at the forefront as Malaysia's top private paediatric service provider, offering a comprehensive ecosystem of specialised care for children,' he said.
