💨 Abstract

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba plans to meet President-elect Donald Trump in the U.S. this month, emulating the close ties forged by Shinzo Abe during Trump's first term. The U.S. is Japan's key economic and security partner, with Tokyo providing bases for a large military presence in Asia. Ishiba hopes the meeting will defuse contentious issues like defence spending and trade.
