  5. Japan's Prime Minister to Meet with President Trump in Washington

Japan's Prime Minister to Meet with President Trump in Washington

ai generated text

The articles highlight the diplomatic efforts of Japan's prime ministers in attempting to form a close relationship with US President Donald Trump. Shinzo Abe, who served as prime minister from 2006 to 2020 and again briefly in 2020, made significant efforts to establish a rapport with Trump, including gifting him a gold-plated golf club and symbolically "kissing the ring" by visiting Trump Tower.

    1. I hope to set priorities and get results in the limited time we have.
    2. We have a lot of topics to discuss.

    1. Japan's foreign policy has always been 'America First,' and if Ishiba can deliver that message eloquently he will establish a foundation for strong alliance ties.
    2. Will Ishiba succeed? The media will be looking for signs of personal chemistry, and that is important in diplomacy. But the message Ishiba brings is profound, and what might at first appear to be a hastily arranged bilateral meeting could serve as a starting point for shaping the regional balance of power in favour of the US alliance network in Asia during Trump 2.0.

    1. How Ishiba handles his relationship with Trump will draw intense scrutiny and carry immense risks for Ishiba's standing at home.
    2. It is a risky meeting for Ishiba. He could face tough questioning at home for not standing up for Japan's interests, but if he fails to bring home reassurances from Trump or to forge a sufficiently cordial relationship with him, his rivals in the LDP could step up the pressure.
    3. The Japanese media will be watching closely how Trump addresses Ishiba, what his body language looks like, and whether he uses his first name – and if he is unable to receive assurances from Trump on key issues.
    4. If he is overly ingratiating, he will be grilled by lawmakers in parliament.
