LIVE: Trump Hails Japan’s PM Takaichi, Calls Her ‘One of the Greatest Prime Ministers’ | N18G #Firstpost

“He (Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe) spoke so well of you. Long before we met, and i’m not surprised to see that you’re now the Prime Minister, and he (Abe) would be very happy to know that,” Trump told Takaichi as the pair sat down for discussions with their delegations.

Takaichi in turn also expressed her desire to realise a new golden age of Japan-US alliance with Trump. A similar close relationship with the leader of Japan’s key security and trade partner could help Takaichi bolster her weak political position at home.

Trump and Takaichi will later visit the U.S. naval base in Yokosuka near Tokyo, which is home to the aircraft carrier USS George Washington, part of the U.S. military’s powerful presence in the region. The two are also expected to sign an agreement related to critical minerals and rare earths, which are crucial for a wide range of products from smartphones to fighter jets, according to a White House official.
