Trump pressed Abe to have Japan build more vehicles in U.S.: Hagerty

Japan needs to hit America back where it hurts, threaten to close all of their bases in Japan.

And what would Trump give Japan in return? That's what a deal is supposed to do, have positive outcomes for both parties. No mention of this in the article, so I guess we can safely assume that Abe didn't press his demands. No one looks very happy in the photo except Akie. She's ready to drink some wine and paa----ti!

There is no doubt that the trade is trade.

Lol, europe that's germany that will be happy...

The picture is funny !

Meanwhile China is asking Tesla to be built there, that is the future, break your ties and join the BRI.

The photo show the relation between two couples.

Abe and his wife looks more close and happy, other hand Trump and his wife looks in formal relation only.

All Trump has done since coming into office is break deals and other international agreements. Anyone can do that. He hasn't made a single new deal. The closest he got was Nafta 2.0 but none of the countries have ratified it. Japan should just dig in and wait it out while US farmers fume.

Meanwhile China is asking Tesla to be built there,

yep they are , Tesla sold in China will be made in China, producing in China would be 50~60% cost advantage to the AMerican plant. so much for Trumps trade war.

A photo-op that says it all!

Trump pressed Abe to have Japan build more vehicles in U.S.

Good idea!

Abe getting Washington's orders. Japan, vote him out, kick out the US and regain your self respect and sovereignty.

Washington can’t afford to pay for a wide enough carpet?

Yes! Japan should join BRII !

But the profits all come back to Japan to enrich the Japanese. I think Americans should figure out what Japanese want, and then make it, and sell it here. They are not very good at that. They think that everyone wants what Americans want.
