Japanese Agriculture Minister Kazuo Yana resigned after backlash over his suggestion to cut road funding for municipalities that did not support him. Appointed last month, Yana's comments drew criticism and a public reprimand from Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who accepted his resignation to avoid parliamentary disruption. Yana is the first minister to leave Takaichi’s government, with a successor to be announced soon.
