Japanese and U.S. leaders may hold a telephone summit tonight, expected to discuss Takahashi's visit to the U.S. and China policy

According to reports from Kyodo News citing multiple Japanese government sources, the Japanese and U.S. governments are in final coordination for a telephone summit between Prime Minister Sanae Takeda and President Trump as early as the evening of the 2nd. The two sides may discuss Takahashi's planned visit to the United States this year. In addition, given the heightened tensions between Japan and China following Takahashi's parliamentary testimony on "Taiwan's affairs," the leaders of Japan and the United States may also exchange views on China policy.

Takahashi stated in a speech at the end of December last year that she is coordinating arrangements for an early visit to the United States this year. Trump has said he will not get too involved in the Japan-China dispute.
