Takaichi “has already proven to be a strong, powerful, and wise Leader, and one that truly loves her Country,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social as he announced her visit next month.
The United States and Japan have been working to strike a “very substantial” deal on trade, as well as collaborating on national security, Trump said, offering his “Complete and Total Endorsement” of Takaichi.
