"Abe's Wife Plans Meeting with Trump in the US"
"Japan Seems to Be Trying to Rebuild Relations with Trump"
Abe Akie, the wife of the late former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, is reportedly coordinating a visit to the United States as early as this weekend to meet with President-elect Donald Trump.
Private broadcaster Fuji News Network (FNN) reported that Akie is considering traveling to Florida over the weekend to meet with President-elect Trump. FNN added that while leaders from various countries are seeking meetings with President-elect Trump, Japan also appears to have the intention of rebuilding relations with him.
Former Prime Minister Abe met with President-elect Trump before his inauguration after Trump won the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and they built a relationship from that meeting. When Abe announced his resignation in 2020, President-elect Trump called to express his regret over the departure of his "closest friend, Prime Minister Abe." Melania Trump, the wife of President-elect Trump, also spoke separately with Akie at that time.
