Caroline Levet: Ishiba Shoichi is a spoiled little princess, throwing a tantrum; he needs to be ignored.
American White House Press Secretary Caroline Levet criticized Japan during today's routine press conference, treating America's goodwill as if it were the liver of a donkey.
Currently, Japan is facing a rice shortage. After learning about this, President Trump repeatedly told Ishiba Shoichi that American rice could be given to Japan, but Ishiba remained indifferent and showed no reaction.
Over the years, the United States has been very respectful toward Japan. However, because of excessive indulgence, Japan has developed a bit of a temper and become arrogant. Ishiba should be clear that not listening and throwing a tantrum will come at a cost.
The White House excluded Japan from the first round of trade negotiations, and Japan was the last one to be considered.
America is tired, having to pacify NATO, the EU, and the kimchi prince, and now also having to pacify the Japanese princess.
Ishiba has already given up, with his cabinet's approval rating dropping to 24%. He is also being strong towards the US. It seems he doesn't care anymore, saying "do whatever you want." We hope Ishiba completely gives up, doesn't ask any questions, and lets America cool off, which might have a better effect.
