Japan PM says she had 'timely' discussion with Trump ahead of his Xi summit

Takaichi said the two leaders discussed China, including economic security and technology cooperation, before Trump’s summit with Xi Jinping.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington, where both leaders invoked their nations' World War II alliance against Japan, with Trump hailing "common interests" that he said had "even made us allies in World War II."
  • Tokyo remains concerned that Beijing might use the summit to bolster its narrative against Japan, as bilateral ties remain chilly following Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's comments on Taiwan last year regarding potential involvement in a Chinese invasion.
  • Takaichi said Trump called her "right after" the visit to provide a "detailed" debrief on security and economic challenges concerning China, maintaining communication between the allies.
  • Following the summit, Takaichi touted the "unshakable" bond on Friday, stating that Tokyo and Washington are "allies bound by very strong ties" based on mutual trust, while declining to comment on the summit itself.
  • Ahead of the visit, Takaichi met Trump at the UN General Assembly in New York, where the Republican leader called her a "friend of mine" and praised her as one of the great prime ministers.
