The state department under the administration of a guy who openly boasts about sexual harassment right?

Am not sure if this is a joke or not. If so it’s an I’ll advised joke by America

I think the forced adult video issue is more an issue of contract law rather than sexual abuse. The JK industry is just a question of underage employment. If they are overage then there is no problem whatsoever

A good first step, but seeing as there haven’t been tests in over 6 months anyway, a bit shallow and entirely symbolic.

US and Japanese pressure and sanctions is what brought NK crawling to the negotiation table in the first place. This is one of the great diplomatic feats in modern times and a decisive victory for the allies

Banning things are never the answer, governments should be liberalizing instead of finding new things to be upset about and banning. Stop going backwards

A blind hysterical witch hunt where people can lose their lives and livelihoods from a single unproven claim from some random from 20 years ago? Haha no, such stupidity won’t be happening in Japan thankfully

We all know what happened to Aziz Ansari to know that the MeToo witch hunt is a farce. Keep that garbage out

This could go either way, it could be a show of faith that they are only going to make reasonable demands. Or it could mean that what they will be demanding in the summit will be far, far more exacting

It will definitely be tough to get NK to give up its medium range missiles, but if they completely denuclearize and are permanently banned from future development and missile testing, maybe it’s not too bad

Yeah I think they should open sumo up to women. I’d say they’d find the market would be quite small though

Well deserved and definitely among the most influential people in the world right now

Well looks like the #MeToo movement has reared its head in Japan. Wonder who’s next

Jesus, didn’t know NK kidnapped so many other innocents too. The NK useful idiots strangely still among us would like this covered up or minimized.

NK will pay heavily for this foul crime

French Revolution? Yeah right. There are the super affluent in every society on Earth

Good to hear Abe playing Trump like the fool he is. If all it takes is flattery to calm him down and distract, then it must be done

Yeah nothing wrong with this. I don’t think people’s sex lives are remotely anyone’s business

Very nice

Good to hear this incredible trade deal looks to be ratified and implemented quickly, well done! Can't wait to see some cheaper European produce

"While Japan and South Korea would like us to go back into TPP, I don’t like the deal for the United States," he tweeted, before hosting a visit by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

South Korea is not even in the TPP, what's he been smoking?

Great news from Iceland and well done to them! Mysteriously, all the anti-whaling virtue signalers have disappeared when it's not Japan doing the whaling! Absolute comedy

Jesus.. So the passenger who died was sucked out the hole and fell to their death..? I can't imagine what sort of hell that must have been to the other passengers in there waiting to see if they would die too..

A urine test would be a gigantic breakthrough for testing. Hope it works!

This thief will probably cause the end of these open style rehab prisons that were working fine until he escaped, that will be his legacy. So yeah this criminal is no hero and he might have ruined it for other prisoners

SDF person argues with opposition moron = LDP conspiracy.

Yep, logic and rationality does not survive first contact with the anti-Abe sheep haha. No surprises there

Regardless, the SDF guy was right, the opposition is fast becoming an enemy of the state with their astonishing incompetence and should be careful how low they go

Well done to Abe on getting agreement on bringing up the absolutely disgusting NK crime of kidnapping innocents. This will never be forgiven or forgotten, as much as the pathetic NK useful idiots try to minimize it.

Well, I'd say those going on hunger strike have just ended their chances of a positive outcome for whatever they were aiming for in coming to Japan illegally. Food is being provided to them, so it's on the inmates to eat.

Are we getting the full story here? I find it very hard to believe the police weren't called if these 2 just asked to use the bathroom. The part about refusing to leave sort of opens up the incident quite a bit.

A really good discovery but am not seeing the profitability in deep sea mining at this stage, unless rare earths become prohibitively expensive

100% support. There had to have been a response for this use of chemical weapons. If there was no military response at all, you can bet we would be seeing unrestricted use of chemicals from now on from all other questionable countries

There will have to be some response, Trump cannot back out of it now. To really avoid conflict, Russia should allow some Syrian base to be destroyed, after evacuating everyone, etc.

Russia cannot win a conventional war against NATO, so they will have to use nuclear threats to protect Syria, which will deal a fatal blow to Russia.

Trump is making the right decision by coming back to the TPP, but they have lost all leverage to influence its terms.

This could not have turned out any better for Japan and the TPP nations
