The Japanese Prime Minister seeks to meet with Trump amid tensions in Sino-Japanese relations
During the live broadcast of the House of Representatives Budget Committee meeting, Japanese Prime Minister Hashimoto Asako clearly stated that she is willing to "hold a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump as soon as possible."
When responding to the proposal by the leader of the opposition party, the Constitutional Democratic Party, Tamaki Yuichi, that the prime minister should hold talks with Trump before his visit to China, Hashimoto said: "I can go to Washington. If President Trump visits abroad, I also hope to arrange a meeting as soon as possible."
Tamaki specifically suggested that the prime minister attend the Davos Forum next January and meet with Trump during the conference. It is worth noting that since the Davos Forum coincides with the opening of the new session of the Japanese Diet, Japanese prime ministers usually do not attend in person. Therefore, Tamaki promised to coordinate within the Diet to secure special permission for the prime minister's trip to Davos.
