If Japan is soothing, the US allies and the highest friend was becoming more unstable in Asia-Pacific, which he achieved and then some.
The White House was called a Trump-Ishiba meeting what it happened.
Unlike most of the dynamics of Trump home and in the world, it was not controversial nor confidence.
“TV, it’s very scary,” said Shigeru Ishiba after Japanese Prime Minister Friday meeting.
“But when I met him, he was very honest, he was very strong and strong,” he added.
There are many linking Washington and Tokyo. Japan has been the main foreign investor in the US for five consecutive years, creating thousands of jobs. And 54,000 military in the US are located in Japan.
President Donald Trump, however, has given him a lot of friends: fare wars against China, Canada and Mexico’s proposal and its property ” Penalties against international criminal court.
“Trump has taken wrong decisions to those who thought they were friends in America,” said Jeffrey Hall, a professor at the Japanese Kanda International Studies.
“The same thing happened in Tokyo, that Trump may have a giant Japanese rates or start the conflict. But it didn’t happen,” he added.
Trump did not dismiss Tokyo fares, not the main feature of this meeting.
Ishiba was prepared to Washington. Learned. Literally. He had “study sessions” with staff and fumio Kishida sought advice on his predecessor.
He also had the support of the first widow of PM Shinzo Abe, who had a close relationship with Trump in his first presidency, forged on the golf course.
Ishiba homework paid.
As Trump referred to the wrong nippon steel, as “Nissan” was not like many other US presidents.
In fact, as long as Japan is concerned – this meeting was relaxing.
Both leaders intended to encourage their countries in the “golden age” of their countries in their countries.
Ishiba announced its country in the US investment $ 1TN (£ 806 million) to restart relations between two economic power.
Ishiba said that Japanese car managers would promote investments, while Tokyo spread the US natural gas (LNG) imports.
That would be a boost to the music and his “drill, baby, drilling”.
The two men also managed to find a common land around the controversial issue of Nippon steel.
Trump said Nippon “would invest” in U.S. steel based on Pennsylvania, without taking a majority.
The attempt at the US Japanese steel attempt pre-blocked Joe Biden President in national security sites.
They were enough to breathe for Japan easily, but the main goal of visiting Ishiba was personal.
Japanese PMA at home has been a wonderful political position – after maintaining weak power with its reduced government When he was humiliated in the General October elections when the majority was lost.
Ishiba was disappointed for victory.
The man himself did not trust much of a trumpet.
“Week, that the local media could not be successful.
But Ishiba looks remote.
The former Japanese defense minister is a veteran politician known for compact lectures in Parliament. Observers said such talks mixed with some opponents and mixed others.
But with his employees in a “Trump strategy meeting”, he reported the greatest advice: “Conclusion first and keep it.”
“It followed a book of Ishiba plays to personally blur and provide economic investments in the US,” Mr. Hall said.
There are several issues that Japan and the US could not agree. Trump is not the least Gaza band US proposalwhich sparked hard critiques around the world.
Japan reaffirmed a long-time position to protect two State solutions.
“We won’t change our attitude,” said Takeshi Iwaya Foreign Minister last week.
Tokyo is also watching Trump’s Trade War with China nervously.
But the hall said Japan was not attracted to the Chinese trade war in the US, if it was helped.
In terms of China, Japan must take a fine balance.
Beijing is the largest bargaining partner of Tokyo. China is one of the largest investment destinations for Japanese companies.
Defense and diplomatic front of the United States and Japan have challenged China’s influence and exclusion region and worldwide.
Is not at least with Chinese military Now frequency and provocative movements near Taiwan What is Beijing sees as a renegade province.
In 2022, Japan, a pacifist, reported that he doubled his military expense in 2027, referring to threats to China and North Korea, and he would get the ability to play the foundations of the enemy.
Changes had the most dramatic review to the Japanese safety strategy since he took peace after World War II.
With North Korea, South Korea, South Korea, Meltow Meltown and the US China Competition, Japan again presents the least American challenge and a friend without a friend without friends in the region.
“Japan will be avoided regardless of Trump. It will probably become a” yes “friend,” Hall said.
