It has been revealed that the government is considering creating a new minister in charge of income-linked benefits, which it aims to introduce in conjunction with the food consumption tax cut, in order to facilitate administrative work across multiple ministries and agencies. Coordination is underway to submit the bill to the extraordinary Diet session to be convened in October.

The number of women appointed in cabinet reshuffles and LDP executive appointments was limited, the number of three political office positions was reduced, and all four party positions were held by men, which went against the ``Nordic-like'' policy. It is far removed from the government's gender equality goals.

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi aims to pass a bill to lower the consumption tax rate on food products to 1% for two years at the extraordinary Diet session to be convened on October 5th, but Democratic Party of Japan representative Yuichiro Tamaki has presented a counterproposal centered on raising the amount of resident tax deduction, deepening the conflict over the direction of the policy.

Mr. Lula is trying to win over his supporters by increasing the Bolsa Familia allowance, but he has also received widespread criticism. The disapproval rate for both candidates is close to 50%, and the election is being analyzed as a ``fight between hated people.''

After completing his first state visit to the United States in 11 years, Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized their equal relationship in a meeting with President Trump. He expressed confidence in the management of U.S.-China relations and announced a policy to stabilize the relationship through measures such as rare earth export controls and competition in the AI field.
