According to a report by Japan's Kyodo News Agency on the 10th, Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae indicated at the Japanese House Budget Committee meeting on the same day that she hopes to hold summit talks with US President Trump as soon as possible. The report said that in view of Takaichi Sanae's remarks about Taiwan triggering rivalry between China and Japan, she expressed “hope to meet as soon as possible.” This move is thought to be intended to show unity between Japan and the US in China. The report also said that with regard to the strained relationship between China and Japan caused by Taiwan-related remarks, Takashi stated that “detailed communication with Trump has been carried out through direct talks and telephone talks.” Regarding future opportunities for talks, she listed candidate plans to visit the US in person or be held in a third country. Earlier, according to reference sources, quoting a report on the Spanish “Confidential” website on December 7, when asked about topics related to the Japanese government, Trump took the opportunity to warn Japan: “Many of our allies are not real friends.” “In the field of trade, our allies are exploiting us more wantonly than China,” he said in a media interview. The Tokyo side interpreted this statement as saying that if the new prime minister gets involved in a conflict with Beijing, America's security umbrella may not be activated.
