In call, Takaichi and Trump agree to work toward spring visit to U.S.
Takaichi and Trump agreed to deepen security and economic ties and reaffirm cooperation on a free and open Indo-Pacific with allies, including South Korea, officials said.
- On Jan 2, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said she and US President Donald Trump agreed to arrange a spring summit in the United States after speaking by phone for more than 20 minutes.
- Amid tensions with China after her Taiwan remarks last year, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi sought alignment with President Donald Trump, who had asked her in late November to 'manage' relations without retracting her comments ahead of his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
- They reaffirmed cooperation with South Korea and other allies to promote a free and open Indo‑Pacific, Ms Takaichi said, and exchanged views primarily on the Indo‑Pacific region, confirming close Japan–US bilateral coordination.
- Mr Trump invited Ms Takaichi to visit the United States and they agreed to coordinate trip details and deepen security and economic collaboration.
- It was their first telephone conversation since last year and Takaichi called the start‑of‑year talks extremely meaningful, saying 2026 should open a new chapter in the Japan‑US alliance.
