WASHINGTON: Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is expected to meet US President Donald Trump at the White House on Apr 26 to discuss trade and efforts to contain North Korea's nuclear programme, a US official said on Wednesday .
Japan's foreign and defence ministers will meet with their US counterparts in Washington on Friday, the US State Department said.Trump has touted his good relationship with Abe, which has seen closer security ties given shared concerns about China's growing power, but he has also made clear he is unhappy with Japan's trade surplus with the United States, which was US$67.6 billion in goods in 2018, according to US figures.
Trump and Abe agreed last September to start trade talks in an arrangement that protects Japanese automakers from further tariffs while negotiations are under way. The discussions are also likely to cover investigations into the crash in the Pacific Ocean close to northern Japan last week of the first U.S.-designed F-35 fighter aircraft assembled in Japan.
