Trump’s opening remarks before questions:
Trump says “alliance between us and Japan is the Cornerstone of civility in the region and all around the world” @10:30
11:50 deal with Japan for its own defenses with equipment made in the USA
105 F-35 Stealth aircraft- repeats it. “You can’t see them”
Will give Japan the largest fleet of any US ally.
@ 13:05 Fair trading- US Beef gained full access to Japanese market for first time since 2003
Moar on trade very VERY soon.
@13:48 Japan joining us in space. Moon and Mars
Nothing more important (militarily) than space.
@ 14:30 New Imperial era Nation has chosen name (phonetically spelling)
RAy-WaH meaning ‘beautiful harmony’
*During both opening remarks and Q&A time -Japanese have major problems with abductions of Japanese people by NK. Enough that Trump has met with the families. @17:20 ish
@17:25 abduction is most important issue for Abe administration
(That might be a good dig. Who, and Why are they abducting??)
