Abe is about six feet. In Florida, he was taller than other golfer guests.

Both Mike Pence and Shinzo Abe are the same height - 5ft 9in. And while we're at it, Xi Jing Ping is 5ft 11in. Donald Trump is 6ft 2in. And Obama was 6ft 1in. Vladimir Putin is 5ft 6in but all muscle.

"Japan had a $69 billion trade surplus with the United States last year, the U.S. Treasury Department said, expressing concern over what it called the "persistence" of the imbalance. Japanese officials counter that Tokyo accounts for a much smaller chunk of America's deficit than in the past, while China's imbalance is much bigger."
They are correct. US Trade deficit with Japan (69 Billion) plus Germany (65 Billion) plus Mexico (63 Billion) all together do not add up to China's whopping 347 Billion.
