JapanThe Japanese government is planning to arrange meetings between Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and U.S. President Donald Trump during her visit to New York for the U.N. General Assembly in late September. The goal is to discuss coordination on China-related matters, particularly as Chinese President Xi Jinping and Trump are scheduled to meet on September 24. Japan is concerned about potential U.S. concessions to China on issues like Taiwan and is pushing for direct communication with Trump before the U.S.-China summit. Takaichi's office is open to various formats for the talks, including in-person meetings or phone calls if necessary. The discussions also involve broader diplomatic issues, including Japan's stance on North Korea and opposition to U.S. sanctions against a Japanese national linked to the International Criminal Court.
