Japan's Ishiba makes a whirlwind Washington trip to try to forge a personal connection with Trump
Hindustan TimesWASHINGTON — Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba didn't skimp on the legwork as he prepared for his first meeting with President Donald Trump. Japan's Ishiba makes a whirlwind Washington trip to try to forge a personal connection with Trump He huddled this week with SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, two executives Trump recently hosted at the White House. Trump in December said he was “totally against the once great and powerful U.S. Steel being bought by a foreign company.” Ishiba isn't necessarily planning on bringing up the deal but has prepped to make a fulsome case for Nippon if Trump raises it, according to a Japanese government official who insisted on anonymity to discuss the leader's private deliberations. “I think Prime Minister Ishiba certainly sees this is an important and critical opportunity for him to reestablish what were exceptional bonds between President Trump and Japan in the first Trump administration,” said Sen. Bill Hagerty, a Tennessee Republican who served as Trump's ambassador to Japan during his first administration. Abe and Trump's tight bond was all the more remarkable, because Trump early in his first White House term threatened a “big border tax” on Japanese automaker Toyota if it built a plant in Mexico and derided Japan for what he deemed insufficient defense spending.
