Japan's PM Ishiba wanted to visit Pres. Trump soon after Nov. 5. But President-elect Trump didn't grant him an audience until last week. Back in 2016, Japan PM Abe visited President-elect Trump at the Trump Tower.
But why have Japanese leaders rushed to meet with Mr. Trump?
Because America is important to Japan's economy and security. And vice versa. .
In this interview, we discuss the following:
►The "most important bilateral relationship in the world, bar none."►Japan's longest running political party and its loss of power
►How Japan's government structure compares to America's
►How protectionism and restrictive business practices helped Japan's economy
►1980s' anti-Japanese sentiments in America
►Populism in Japan (and perhaps its lessons for America)
►Japan's formidable bureaucracy and how it shaped Japan's economic planning (and at times political landscape)
►Japan's constitution and America's role in writing it
►Japan's challenge with its constitutional limits on increasing its military power
►Japan military: from pacificism to realism
►An Asian NATO?
