Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba will resign to prevent a split in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). The LDP-led coalition has lost its parliamentary majority since taking power last year due to public dissatisfaction over rising costs. A vote on whether to hold an extraordinary leadership election is scheduled for Monday. Ishiba's government recently concluded a trade deal with the U.S.
