President Trump Offers Positive Assessment of Japan’s New Incoming Prime Minister
It looks like Japan’s new incoming Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has a strong advocate for her leadership in the White House:
U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday hailed the choice of conservative Sanae Takaichi to be Japan’s first female prime minister, calling her a person of “wisdom and strength.”
“Japan has just elected its first female Prime Minister, a highly respected person of great wisdom and strength,” Trump said on his Truth Social network.
“This is tremendous news for the incredible people of Japan. Congratulations to all!”
Media reports have said that Trump is expected to visit its key Asian ally in late October.
Takaichi hailed a “new era” Saturday after becoming head of Japan’s ruling party, putting her on course to become the country’s first female prime minister.
The 64-year-old, whose hero is Britain’s Margaret Thatcher, said that a “mountain of work” lay ahead to restore the fortunes of her ailing Liberal Democratic Party.
