ロシアのプーチン大統領は5日、日本たばこ産業(JT)がロシアに保有する資産を同国企業の一時管理下に移すよう命じた。大統領令に署名した。ロシアは最近、プーチン氏の北方領土訪問や北海道新聞記者の拘束など対日圧力を強めており、日本企業にも影響が及んだ形だ。

一時管理制度は2023年、欧米などによるロシアの資産凍結に対抗するため大統領令に基づき設けられた。企業側は所有権を維持するが、事実上経営権を失う。インタファクス通信によれば、世界的なたばこ大手の資産がロシア企業の管理下に置かれるのは初という。

JTの海外事業を手がける「JTインターナショナル」(JTI)のホームページによると、JTIは1999年からロシア事業を展開。07年にはロシアのたばこ市場で首位となった。ロシア国内には4カ所の生産拠点があり、従業員は約4000人に上る。

Reflecting the anger of the people: Kazuhiro Maejima, Professor at Sophia University - U.S. midterm elections, expert talk

The Democratic Party made great strides in the U.S. midterm elections, reflecting the public's anger toward the Trump administration. As dissatisfaction with tariffs and military operations against Iran surfaced, Democrats gained seats even in heavily Republican states. It takes 60 votes to block a filibuster in the Senate, but Democrats are not able to do so alone, and impeachment requires approval from two-thirds of the Senate. Trump's approval rating among Republican voters is over 80%, and impeachment risks dividing his support base. Even in the last midterm elections, the House of Representatives was dominated by Democrats, but Mr. Trump carried out his policies decisively. It is not the first time that the country has become a lame duck, but the mood is such that it is difficult to do as it pleases like in the past.
