Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted November 18, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 18, 2016 Off to a decent start here it seems Japan PM Shinzo Abe: 'I have great confidence in Trump' Japan's PM Shinzo Abe has said he has "great confidence" in US President-elect Donald Trump and he believes they can build a relationship of trust. Mr Abe described the 90-minute meeting in Trump Tower, New York, as "candid", with a "warm atmosphere". Some of Mr Trump's campaign rhetoric cast doubt over long-standing US alliances, including with Japan. The meeting was Mr Trump's first face-to-face with a world leader since winning the presidential election. The US and Japan have been key allies since the end of World War Two, when the US helped Japan rebuild its economy. The president-elect has vowed to scrap the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, which Mr Abe strenuously supports as a means of countering China's growing economic strength. The deal was approved by the Japanese parliament, despite the likelihood that it would be cancelled when Mr Trump takes office. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38021814 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
