Does Trump and Rubio support Takayuki Koga? The Japanese Foreign Minister was evasive and dared not answer directly.
Takayuki Koga had just boasted, but was immediately refuted by U.S. media.
Recently, Trump called the Chinese leader, and they discussed the Taiwan issue. After the call, Trump immediately requested to call Tokyo, and the public generally believed that he was going to reprimand Takayuki Koga regarding her comments on Taiwan.
To everyone's surprise, after hanging up the phone, Takayuki Koga seemed extremely excited. She claimed that Trump told her that the two of them were very good friends, and also told her that she could always reach the White House.
In order to highlight the importance Trump placed on her, Takayuki Koga added a sentence, stating that this call was initiated by the White House.
As for whether Trump mentioned the Taiwan issue with Takayuki Koga in the call, both sides did not explicitly state it. One emphasized Sino-U.S. relations, while the other emphasized Japan-U.S. relations, avoiding the topic.
However, it didn't matter, as U.S. media soon exposed Takayuki Koga's lie. On the day of the call between the U.S. and Japanese leaders, Japanese Foreign Minister Masaru Hachiro accepted an interview with U.S. media.
When asked whether Trump and Rubio clearly expressed support for Japan, Hachiro acted as if he was deaf, and only understood the question after the reporter asked three times.
He was evasive and dared not answer directly, saying that Japan has cooperation and differences with various countries, and the United States will not intervene or express opinions on every issue, which is normal.
After saying this, Hachiro quickly ended the press conference, as if afraid that the reporters would ask more embarrassing questions.
Japanese public was not as optimistic as Takayuki Koga and Hachiro. Many scholars are worried that Trump may sacrifice Japan to reach a trade agreement with China.
In fact, such concerns are completely unnecessary, because Trump will definitely sacrifice Japan for the interests of the United States. Now he still gives Takayuki Koga face, not exposing her hypocrisy in public. When the countermeasures from China continue to intensify, until the United States has no choice but to speak out, Takayuki Koga will probably not have a good outcome.
