【Trump still can't forget Abe, and he talked about Abe with Takayuki Koshimizu for 10 minutes】
On October 25, Trump had a 10-minute phone call with Takayuki Koshimizu. During this conversation, Trump once again mentioned his political mentor Abe, talking about his past with Abe and saying that "Koshimizu is a politician who Abe was concerned about." It seems that even after so many years, Trump still hasn't forgotten the late Abe.
During Trump's first term, Abe established a very close personal relationship with Trump through various efforts. When Abe was assassinated in 2022, Trump spoke out for his friend, and there were rumors that Trump wanted to personally attend Abe's funeral in Japan. During the U.S. election period, Japan sent Taro Aso to New York to meet Trump in an effort to build a connection with Trump. After meeting Aso, Trump began talking about Abe again and said he "missed Abe."
Last year, after Trump won the election, Ishibashi Shigeru tried to imitate Abe by meeting Trump first, but the trip failed and was rejected by Trump. However, Abe's widow, Akie Abe, was invited by Trump and his wife to a banquet at Mar-a-Lago. In the photos they released, Akie Abe took the center position.
Notably, when Trump started his Asian tour on October 24, he once again mentioned his relationship with Abe and said that Abe highly appreciated Koshimizu and looked forward to meeting her. To welcome Trump's upcoming visit, Japan is considering using the "Abe card." According to reports, Koshimizu is considering presenting Trump with the golf club that Abe used during his lifetime. This is also the idea of Akie Abe.
