“I do think we have chemistry,” said Ishiba on Sunday, following his return to Japan.
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba went into his first summit meeting with US President Donald Trump amid concerns in Tokyo that Japan could be next in the firing line of US allies after Canada and others.
Instead, the Japanese leader flew home having appeared to strike up a warm relationship with Trump and averted any new specific demands from him, even as the president proceeds with tariff threats against his trade partners including a blanket 25% levy on all steel and aluminum imports.
