The Prime Minister of Japan confirms her commitment to a $550 billion investment package with the United States
Japanese Prime Minister, Sunai Takaishi, confirmed that she does not intend to renegotiate the huge investment package worth $550 billion agreed upon with the United States, stressing the need to respect the pledges concluded between governments regardless of the change in leadership.
Takaishi said – at the end of a week of diplomatic activities, which included a summit with President Donald Trump; According to what was reported by the American (Bloomberg) agency: “I believe that even if the prime minister changes, promises between governments should not be modified.”
Takaishi refused to comment on a trade agreement concluded by South Korea with the United States, given that its details have not yet been disclosed. Before assuming the prime ministership last month, Takaishi had indicated that renegotiating customs duties with Washington might be on the table if circumstances arose that affected Japan’s national interests.
Takaishi, known for her conservative tendencies, consolidated her position as the first woman to assume the position of prime minister in Japan, in a move that broke a historical political barrier, but at the same time it reflects a more stringent trend in Tokyo’s policies.
And during her participation in a regional summit in Korea South, Takaishi met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung; She said that the Japanese and Chinese sides agreed to build a constructive and stable relationship, and Chinese media quoted Xi as confirming that the two countries should not pose a mutual threat.
Before her visit to South Korea, the Prime Minister held her first bilateral meeting with Trump in Tokyo, where she said that she held “frank and direct” talks. She built personal relations with the American President, indicating the strong relations expected between the two countries in the next stage.
