"We value Japan very much," Trump told reporters on the 16th, a day after a dinner with former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's wife and Akie, and said of the possibility of a meeting with Prime Minister Ishiba before taking office, "If Japan wants to, I will do so."
Since then, Trump's side has presented the Japanese government with a schedule for a meeting in the middle of next month, and the two sides continue to coordinate.
Nihon Keizai reported that the Japanese government should quickly establish a personal trust relationship with Trump and that there is a sense of caution that Trump could make excessive demands, so the schedule will be finally decided after judging the expected outcome of the meeting.
Ishiba also said he is considering a plan to show Japanese companies' contribution to expanding U.S. employment, which Trump values, in preparation for excessive demands in security and trade.
