Washington, Nov. 25 (Jiji Press)–U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he had “a great talk” with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi earlier in the day. “We have a great relationship,” Trump told reporters on the presidential plane flying to Florida, after their first phone talks since Takaichi’s remarks on a potential Taiwan contingency earlier this month that have strained relations between Japan and China. “She’s very smart, very strong, and she’s going to be a great leader,” the president added. Trump also referred to his phone conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday. “I also had a very good talk with President Xi of China, and I think that part of the world (East Asia) is doing fine,” he said, without clarifying whether his comment was related to Japan-China relations. Trump also told Takaichi that his discussions with Xi primarily focused on trade. He reiterated his intention to visit China next April. END [Copyright The Jiji Press, Ltd.]
