President Donald Trump shakes hands with with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on February 7
US President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba are holding a joint news conference at the White House after meeting earlier this afternoon.
Ishiba is the first Asian leader to meet Trump since his return to office on January 20.
The visit comes at a time of heightened tensions among US allies as the Trump administration threatens tariffs against Canada, Mexico and China, and as the president calls for partners to boost defense spending.
Ishiba told reporters before his departure to Washington, DC, that he wanted to talk to Trump about Japanese investments in the US, as well as the two countries’ security alliance in the Asia-Pacific region, among other topics, according to Japanese public broadcaster NHK.
After the news conference, Trump is scheduled to make a “Faith Office announcement” and sign executive orders.
