“By highlighting what Japan could do to help Trump’s America First agenda, Ishiba offered a template for other countries to deal with Trump’s transactional nature,” said TAG Vice President, Yuka Hayashi to Bloomberg. “Ishiba’s praise of Trump for everything from surviving an assassination attempt, removing restrictions on US fossil fuel extraction and spurring Japan’s moves to invest more in its military contributed to a summit that exceeded expectation… Ishiba hit a home run.”
