As I thought, “good relations” with japan will require Abe to buy weapons, and that’s an order from trump himself. Abe will bow down and listen.

To his his own people he’ll say, “I’ll make you understand later. Please cooperate!”

Saw five large helicopters heading west over Shibuya about 8:30 this morning. Must have been Trump's detachment.

So pentagon ordered a boots on ground invasion of NK. Trump already ordered attack. Senate is worried.

I think SK will not welcome trump and the end of Seoul. NK can fire 10000 artillary shells a minute at Seoul.

So, 24 hour dodge visit.

@bones. Abe will raise sales tax, privatize the health sector in agreement with USA med insurance companies, change the textbooks, change article 9, invade NK to get rare metals, raise pension to 72 years, visit America, bring in conscription, have a couple of snap elections, visit America...

Japan trip was a total success. So much so that fake news stories were created twice in order for the media to have something to attack about. Moving on to South Korea, what fake news will be generated there I wonder?

Am surprised NK didn't try anything while Trump was in Japan, maybe they are saving it for when he is in SK..

Or maybe they've thoroughly been put in their place, meaning it's time to turn the screws even harder to end their nuke program. It's either their nuke program or their nation, both cannot survive together

More than just a "personal friendship" is at stake in this game of war! It's blinding for world leaders to grow "too" deep friendships, as it can lay obstacles for neutral talks and negotiations! Everyone knows that Abe does this just to calm Trump down over possible trade sanctions against Japan. Your efforts are futile, Abe.

The business mogul of New York is more cynical than he seems! All in all, I don't think Trump really cares for friendship. He said the same about Obama during Trump's first visit to the White House. "Obama is a great guy, we held good talks", next day it's like "Obama knew about Russia's involvement, Obama is the worst". The sanctions will eventually come, after a series of blastoffs against Japanese trade practices.

@Aly Rustom, you forgot 'to bad rubbish'.

@Strikebreaker555,

Most old men are usually cynical; Trump's 71.

During sales talk, Trump insisted Japan buy more American missiles. Abe was silent. Trump suggested, "Make cars in USA."

Trump may be served better food than cheese burger in S. Korea.
