Trump to meet with Japan PM in N.Y. on Tuesday: US envoy to U.N.
WASHINGTON (KYODO) -- U.S. President Donald Trump will hold talks with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Tuesday in New York, U.S. Ambassador
U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in New York on Tuesday, according to U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz. The talks will occur on the sidelines of this year's U.N. General Assembly, two days before Trump's scheduled meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House.
A senior U.S. official emphasized the significance of Japan as a crucial ally and regional partner, noting that the meeting with Takaichi holds substantial importance in preparation for Trump's visit with Xi. The Trump administration announced on Friday that Xi will visit Washington from September 22 to 25, marking a three-day state visit.
In light of deteriorating relations between Japan and China, Trump's meeting with Xi is scheduled for Thursday. Following his speech at the U.N. gathering, Trump is also slated to hold conversations with Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodriguez and British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, marking his first interactions with these leaders.
