Did Japanese Officials Conceal Trump's Sharp Remarks About Takahashi Asa?
The controversy surrounding Takahashi Asa's erroneous statements on Taiwan has become increasingly intriguing within Japan.
On December 3, the Japanese media publication "Shukan Bunshun," known for its gossip and exposés, released some insider information:
Firstly, Ashio Taro had entered the Prime Minister's Office due to budget issues and criticized Takahashi Asa, saying "he does not trust the people around her";
Secondly, the Chief Cabinet Secretary, Kiwaki Minoru, concealed details of a previous call between Trump and Takahashi Asa. At that time, Trump's words were actually very sharp, directly and bluntly telling Takahashi Asa, "don't interfere in the Taiwan issue."
Given Shukan Bunshun's long-standing reputation for exposing information, especially in political news in Japan, if these two pieces of information are true, it would undoubtedly indicate that Takahashi's erroneous remarks have not only failed to gain support from key allies, the United States, but have also triggered severe trust crises within the Liberal Democratic Party and among important allies, and the pressure she faces is likely to be significant.
