Donald Trump, Shinzō Abe

“ The key at this moment is to exercise and apply pressure against North Korea in a robust manner. And together with Donald, we’ve been successfully demonstrating our strong will to exercise pressure against North Korea. ”

“ It’s wonderful to have Prime Minister Shinzo Abe — doing a wonderful job, doing a great job for the people of Japan.
We have had numerous discussions already today, and this is a formalization of the discussions. We’ve made a lot of progress, both on trade and obviously, very importantly, we’ve discussed in great detail North Korea — with also South Korea as you just saw. ”

“ So we will continue the dialogue. The relationship has never been closer, I believe, with Japan and the United States, and it will continue onward that way. I look forward to discussing some things that the group is here specifically to discuss. ”
