Trump has said he preferred bilateral trade agreements to multilateral accords.

Because he believes he can better twist arms that way.

praised Britain’s decision to leave the European Union as a “wonderful thing.”

Because Britain now offers up its arm meekly, even desperately, for a good twist.

But on Thursday, Abe said he would consider the possibility of Tokyo and Washington hammering out a trade deal alone—

Yappari. Make me laugh Abe-kun.

Abe's behaviour smacks of desperation. Though May came a close second. Britain has FA to offer Trump except unspoilt land in the countryside for Trump to build fortified golf courses.

It's shameful how Abe behaves like a child begging to be the first leader invited by President-elect Donald Trump. This is just ridiculous. Where is your pride?

"The meeting stirred controversy when Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, a former model and current business executive with no formal role in Trump’s presidency, was seen in attendance."

I'll bet, ha ha!

Trump's got the leftists, globalists and Islamists worried. The three biggest dangers to secular modern western civilization. This is great.

Serrano: Trump's got the leftists, globalists and Islamists worried. The three biggest dangers to secular modern western civilization. This is great.

He's also got the economists, scientists, diplomats, social workers, intelligence agencies, military advisors, international allies and the like also worried... Clearly they all join your list of the biggest dangers to secular modern western civilization - in your words "ha ha! This is great".

among them Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the first foreign leader with whom he met after his election.

Bet this isn't the last time we see this line, probably going to be over-used for the next 4 years.

Yes, to tell him TPP is a farce after the Japanese butchered the original agreement

I hope PM Abe tells President Trump that TPP is the "gold standard of trade agreements".

Heh, the "humans are causing the Earth's climate change and Mother Nature has nothing to do with it" scientists, the politically correct diplomats, the leftist social workers, the corrupt intelligence agencies, sorry, most of the miitary supports Trump, and international "allies" like China and Mexico, lol.
