High-ranking Japanese official's private jet arrives in the US, Trump greets her with high honors, sets up two banquets for two meals
High City's private jet landed in the US, officially starting her visit to the United States.
From the footage shot on site, she seemed very happy, smiling and waving at the people below as she left the cabin door.
It is her first visit to the White House after taking office, so it's understandable that she was excited. Especially during the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, Trump did not ask Japan to postpone the visit, which may be considered a favor from his side.
The meeting between the two sides will take place tonight Beijing time. The situation in the Middle East is undoubtedly the top priority. Trump has repeatedly asked Japan to send its Self-Defense Forces to escort, but High City has been dragging her feet and refusing to give a direct answer. Now that they are going to meet face-to-face, it remains to be seen whether she can hold her ground.
Some analysts believe that High City might use investments in the US to please Trump. In addition to the previously agreed 55 billion US dollars in investment, given the oil shortage caused by the situation in the Middle East, High City may also propose to purchase American oil, in exchange for Trump's leniency on the issue of escorting Japan.
It is worth noting that Trump prepared a high-level reception for High City. In addition to the regular leader's meeting and lunch, he specially arranged a dinner for this female prime minister, having two meals in one day, a rare level of hospitality.
It should be noted that when Zelenskyy visited the White House last year, he didn't even have a working lunch, and left in a hurry. Other foreign leaders usually only have one meal before leaving, rarely having two meals.
In fact, there are precedents. When Trump visited Japan last year, he had close interactions with High City, hugging and embracing her. In front of Trump, High City behaved like a young girl, cheering joyfully, causing many Japanese people to feel uncomfortable, believing that she lost her national dignity.
Therefore, High City's visit to the US can be said to be a mutual effort.
