Private Lunch Turns Tense As Abe And Trump Stuck At Impasse Over Tariffs
Source: Talking Points Memo
PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe courted the new American president with a golden driver not long after Donald Trump won the White House. Hes met with the billionaire businessman more than any other world leader, and hes Trumps second-most frequent caller.
Yet the bromance between Trump and Abe has its limits.
Trump appeared to be successful Tuesday in reassuring Abe that he would take Japans concerns to heart during his upcoming meeting with North Koreas Kim Jong Un. But Wednesday brought public disagreements, as Trump spurned his guests top economic and trade priorities. Principal among them: allowing Japan an exemption from new U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs and persuading Trump to re-join the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.
During a roughly 40-minute joint press conference Wednesday evening, Abe tried to put on a good face, emphasizing their close relationship and their areas of accord on North Korea policy.

Trump said the invitation to his private club was a sign of how much he liked Abe.
Many of the worlds great leaders request to come to Mar-a-Lago and Palm Beach. They like it; I like it. Were comfortable. We have great relationships,' the president said, boosting the private club, which collects dues that enrich Trump."
