  "summary": "Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met in Paris to discuss U.S. sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), according to Kyodo. The meeting, held during the Group of Seven foreign ministers meeting in Paris, was their first since the U.S. midterm elections. Both diplomats agreed to enhance bilateral cooperation on national security to strengthen the defense alliance between the two countries. While acknowledging a difference of opinion on the ICC, Rubio stated that Japan has expressed deep concern over the sanctions, calling them incompatible with Japan's position. The Trump administration has accused the court of encroaching on state sovereignty.",
