As per The AP, President Donald Trump praised and bonded with Japan’s new prime minister. President Trump said. “We are an ally at the strongest level.”
President Donald Trump began one of his busiest days of his Asia trip on Tuesday by warmly greeting the new Japanese prime minister, and taking her with him as he spoke to U.S. troops aboard an
aircraft carrier.
Although Trump is visiting one of America’s most steadfast allies in Asia, there’s no shortage of uncertainty while he’s there.
Sanae Takaichi, who became the country’s first female prime minister only days ago, must solidify her relationship with Trump while defending her country’s economic interests.
Trump called her role as Japan’s first woman prime minister as a “big deal,” putting an emphasis on the U.S. commitment to Japan. While the president in the past has publicly scolded his foreign counterparts, he had nothing but praise for Takaichi.
“Anything I can do to help Japan, we will be there,” Trump said. “We are an ally at the strongest level.”
