Trump responds to Takahashi Sanae's remarks, saying Japan is not a friend
Trump gave an interview with the media today. When asked about Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Sanae's recent comments about "the crisis of Japan's existence if Taiwan is unified" and the "decapitation theory" by Chinese Consul General Xue Jian, Trump said "many allies are not our friends" and "our allies have gained more advantages in trade wars than China."
From this statement, it can be seen that Trump does not support Takahashi Sanae's recent provocative actions against China, and also indicates that Japan has gained a lot in the trade war.
It seems that Trump has a big opinion on Japan, considering Japan as an ally of the United States but not a friend of the United States. From Trump's perspective, Takahashi Sanae's provocative actions against China seem a bit overreaching.
