Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said Thursday that he agreed in phone talks with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to hold a meeting soon while confirming they will work to elevate the bilateral alliance.
After the Republican was elected U.S. president, Ishiba, who became premier on Oct. 1, told reporters at his office, “I got the impression” that Trump is “friendly” and a person who “I can speak honestly with.”
