Japanese universities move toward accepting foreign students from US
Japanese universities are moving toward accepting foreign students from the United States. This follows an announcement by the administration of US President Donald Trump that it was barring Harvard University from enrolling international students. A US district court temporarily blocked the measure, but the administration is pushing back. Japan's education ministry has asked universities across the country in writing to consider support measures such as accepting Japanese and other foreign students enrolled at US universities including Harvard. Kyoto University says it has started consideration toward accepting foreign students and is preparing to receive young researchers. The University of Osaka has decided to accept foreign students and researchers from US universities. It is looking into concrete steps and timing for such acceptance.

Akazawa set to leave for Washington to hold tariff talks
Japanese Economic Revitalization Minister Akazawa Ryosei is set to leave for Washington on Thursday for ministerial-level talks on US tariff measures. Akazawa is scheduled to meet US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Friday, local time. He said he will do his utmost to present proposals that take the US position into account and to gain their understanding. Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru said in a government meeting on Tuesday that he wants Akazawa and other officials to accelerate preparations so they can move even one step closer to a result that benefits both countries. Government sources say Japan has proposed boosting investment in the United States and reviewing regulations to make it easier to import US vehicles. But the sources say Washington still wants Tokyo to come up with proposals that would help reduce US trade deficits with Japan. Japanese officials are now considering more proposals that help bridge the gap with their counterparts. Akazawa is scheduled to attend an international conference in France next week. He may hold another round of talks with US officials if the two sides fail to narrow their differences on Friday. The Japanese government wants to hold intensive tariff talks in the hope that Ishiba will reach some kind of agreement with US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of next month's G7 summit in Canada.

Japan PM Ishiba, Trump speak ahead of trade talks

The call between the leaders lasted about 45 minutes. Ishiba told reporters, "I told President Trump that I hope the discussions between both sides will be productive, and the president agreed as well."

Trump once called it his favorite word. Now, the Japanese version is all over the news.
U.S. President Donald Trump once said 'tariff' was his favorite word. In Japanese, 'tariff' translates to 関税 (kanzei, import tax), a word you've likely heard more often in the news. Coupled with Japan's lingering 米不足 (kome-busoku, rice shortage), 関税 negotiations are now moving toward a broader acceptance of 輸入米 (yunyūmai, imported rice), specifically from the United States. The Japanese are proud of their 国産米 (kokusanmai, domestically produced rice) and have traditionally been reluctant to import rice, the country's staple food, from abroad as a way to protect domestic farmers. Still, some 輸入米 is able to get through — though the U.S. has falsely claimed that 日本はアメリカ産の米に 700%の関税 をかけている (Nihon wa Amerika-san no kome ni nanahyaku pāsento no kanzei o kakete-iru, Japan imposes a 700% tariff on rice produced in the U.S.). The actual situation is much more complicated than that.

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.
