abe was stuck and he couldn't get out of being a third wheel between the u.s. d what is happening on the korean peninsula? what abe hasnk been doing on the korean peninsula is right, and we tould not be seen as rushing million eight relations with . rth korea -- it is important to that mr. abe can tell mr. trump that we have to be careful and try to go with you -- i don't want to use the word defeat -- but i think he will be a good person to tell his experience with north koreans to mr. trump. , i'm not a professor at some university telling students that were you have to learn when you are young is not only diplomacy, but golf that helps you. [laughter] concerns there some given how kim jong-un has done well so far. he has managed to get global engagement for a regime that hasn't had to give up anything at this point. is there a concern that trump is taking it easy on north korea --t any innovation denuclearization deal is distressing to japan? ichiro: that is very important for us. we would like the united states to emphasize that, and at the same time, kim jo

abe's wife as well. it doesn't seem like the bills can be hard. charles: vice president pence and his wife coming out, too. it doesn't seem like this should be hard. we shouldn't get something concrete tonight. america announcing they removed the steel tariffs. maybe we'll get increased steal tariffs. but also perhaps against china and its unfair trade policies. would that be the ultimate we could get tonight? >> sure. one of the other things you passed over is the abductee issue for the japanese. abe would like to say, remember we had the six party talks that included gentleman panel. but if he can say something about these people that the north koreans kidnapped, a resolution to that issue, that will be big for abe in japan. charles: the message for trump voters. what do they want to hear. as we see president trump and prime minister abe. president trump: thank you very much. i want to begin today by expressing my deep condolences to the entire bush family on the passing of former first lady barbara bush, you a wonderful, wonderful person. for d

abe ministries and. making theis end up boj a little bit more relaxed? mark: they would bee relaxed about not having to focus on their inflation target if it finally leads to prime minister abe losing his position. we are coming into a very interesting. for japanese politics. -- we are coming to a very interesting time for japanese politics. prime minister abi needs to win a vote to remain leader of the party. the finance minister, mr. also, has been asked to stay back and not allowed to go to g10 to answer these questions. that the groups within the ldp party could be spent during. the power base for mr. abe could be falling away. it's very opaque in japan. it's hard to know how these things are playing out. not,uncertain whether or the o.b.p. is in a position to come together behind him in september. he really needs a big win in these discussions. needs to come back with something spectacular to show the japanese people that is still doing a good job is prime minister. up at his popularity back home. it's a difficult. for him -- it's a difficult time for him. do the presi

central is doing and how shinzo abe's polling is falling off a cliff. japan might be freer. was no shinzo abe, we would not have abenomics, but with the bank be freer and more level -- liberal? peter: the short-term of moving abe would have an appreciating effect on the yen. i think there is a point where we are in an exhaustion level at the boj where they have bought everything. they have lowered everything. there is not much in the current playbook that they can use. removing this hurdle, which is maybe that opens up ways to stimulate inflation outside of what they are using right now. is wed also say that abe can from a political standpoint, and we are saying that transmission via the lack of involvement with the north korea and u.s. negotiations. i think that is a clear, apparent signal in the market. anna: it is interesting he is talking to trump in mar-a-lago this week. peter: after the disclosures were already made. shocked that this has happened. he did not say, i knew it all along, good one trump. it seemed like, what? anna: it seem like many others are surprise. br

announces the president will be with shinzo abe, the prime minister of japan in april. talking about north korea? >> yes. absolutely continue international campaign of maximum pressure on north very. the prime minister will come to mar-a-lago after the president's trip to colombia. president trump has establish ad great relationship with relationship with president abe. they have been able to from the beginning that february meeting at mar-a-lago a year ago really worked together on issues that affect obviously our two nations but also that entire region. talking about the cornerstone is peace and stability. obviously economic issues. but, very much on everybody's mind now is north korea. you know, abby, should be lost on no one, that the president in -- like they have never seen the media freaked out. they were all, what is he doing. the president accepts a invitation, possibly under his conditions to come to the table, and they freak out. he will continue what he is doing trying to find a way to tackle the big issues of the day. obviously north korea on everybody's mi

be sticking to. so not getting that, in terms of what shinzo abe was hoping for, but of course he had to stand there, best friend diplomatically. he did talk about the action and the understanding that president trump had about all of those japanese who were within the 70s and 80s by north korea. yes, we heard strong support forjapan's position on abductees, which is a very important issue here domestically. we also heard strong words of support forjapan's decision that sanctions should not be eased north korea at all until there are concrete steps towards denuclearisation. i think the concern here in japan denuclearisation. i think the concern here injapan is that there has been a 180 degrees turn on this policy by president trump in the last few months, without really consulting japan at all, going from tough sanctions and maybe military action to suddenly talking with north korea, pretty much without conditions. and mr abe has had to do a 180 degrees turn himself in his rhetoric, and he has basically tied himself to president trump and america's policy on north korea, and he is having to follow al

trade in north korea will be on the agenda when president trump meets shinzo abe this week. and the review of the transpacific partnership will be on the list at mar-a-lago. let's talk about the prospects of seeking progress when it comes to the tpp and these terrorists against japan. against japan. right to have you. the tendency for president trump to wrap up issues of geopolitics, of security along with trade, is that an approach he is unlikely to take this time? there is a short-term agenda at a medium term agenda. in the short-term, minister of a want to make sure that japanese views are taken into account in the talks with north korea and he wants to get out from under the steel tariffs that were imposed against japanese steel exporters. they didn't get an exemption like many other u.s. allies, for he wants to find a way of removing those terrorists -- those tariffs. haidi: it was interesting japan did not get. it was a stark contrast to the exceptions granted to other trading partners. you think that is in order to give washington more leverage going into these talks?

it will be mr abe's second trip to the so—called ‘winter white house' resort. met, in february 2017, that launched many a meme on social media. an encounter that lasted 19 seconds, after which mr abe appears to grimace. then there is the fishy business when president trump visited prime minister abe in tokyo last november. at a traditional koi feeding ceremony, the two men dump the entire contents of their wooden boxes of fish food into the pond. and how can we forget mr abe's almost ninja—like performance when he falls into a bunker during a round of golf at the kasumi country club injapan — all without his guest knowing what was happening. it is fairto it is fair to say that they will probably have an interesting meeting again. they certainly seemed to get on very well doing all those different things, don't they? but more importantly, a lot of our viewers have noticed something slightly different. you are back there in london, i am here in singapore. just a big welcome back. we have all missed you. thank you, i have had a really fruitful time writing a book,

he is going to mar-a-lago later today s and he'll be holding meetings with prime minister abe of japan. so that will be the main focus at least for the first couple of days of this week. but i think that there will be an opportunity for him to speak with the press. and no doubt, this will be one of the questions that comes up, if he does. >> host: that meeting with abe, take us through what the president is looking to accomplish from this latest meeting with the japanese prime minister. >> guest: so aes few different things probably on the agenda for that. this is a relationship that the president has worked on. abe, i believe, was the first foreign leader to meet with trump after his election in late 2016. and what they'll probably be talking about this week will be sort of looking forward towards a potential meeting between president trump and kim jong un of north korea. that meeting is something that the president has already foreshadowed, said he accepted the invitation. that's of great interest to japan just as it is to south korea, so i suspect that will be something they discuss

it will be an important issue on the agenda. president trump and prime minister abe get along quite well. it is going to be a lengthy discussion. it will be about the exclusions from the national security tariffs on steel. it will be about market opening initiatives by japan. it is going to be about tppp will be on the conversation. china, north korea. a very important meeting coming up. ainsley: larry, yesterday president was accusing russia and china devaluing their currency and everybody was afraid he would start a trade war. what does that mean if the russia and china devalue the nations currencies how does that affect fuss. >> i think the president because just concerned more about china. it looked like the yuan was coming down. i don't think that is the case. certainly in the longer term the chinese yuan has been pretty steady. that is what we want. we don't want currency wars or. i think that is okay. brian: tpp was created to be a hedge against china because they were intimidating the people in the area. we were in for a while. the president didn't like the w

and president trump and prime minister abe, with regard to trade, you are going to establish new talks for trade. is it going to be in the direction of fta or tpp? so i'd like to hear the views from both of you. prime minister abe: so at this time, between president trump, talks for free, fair, and reciprocal trade deals to initiate that has been agreed. as for this talk, minister motegi and ambassador lighthizer, ustr, will be the epresentative. and mr. ase and vice president pence, the u.s.-japan economic dialogue where they will be receiving the report of these talks. as for these talks, i thought that it would be the interest of both of the countries that the investment and trade between the two countries will be expanded. and we are going to realize a free and open indo-pacific economic growth. so on the u.s. side, that they are interested in a bilateral deal, we are aware of that. but at any rate, our country's position is that tpp is the best for both of the countries. and based on that position, we shall be dealing with the talks. president trump: thank you very much. the united states has a massive trade

this will be a meeting that will be fought with conflict. , this will be the fourth meeting president will have with prime minister abe the first three focused on building personal relations and being able to focus on the commonalities that the two countries have. this time the two issues that are at stake are north korea and trade. on both issues, there's a lot of conflict, especially on the trade front. haidi: let's start looking at the north korea issue. there's criticism that north korea has gotten to this point without having to give up anything. basis, is there a chance washington is going to give them an easy deal, perhaps on the eliminating icbms? and you think tokyo sought beijing, and tell her that play out in these sessions? >> from tokyo's perspective, what is happening right now is to north korea has not given up anything. it has gone from a pariah state to a country where theaters are eager to have a summit meeting with. meeting withve a the south korean leader, and he has already had a meeting with president xi. , ifn was a six party talks not bilateral come up with north korea as well. the concern nort

be in the direction of the tpp? i would like to hear views from both of you. [through interpreter] betweennister abeesident trump, talk for a free, fair, and reciprocal trade deal has been a great. lighthizer and the minister will be the representatives. there will be economic dialogue, and there will be reports of the talks. they will look at the investment and trade between the two and lookingpanding towards economic growth. on the u.s. side, if they are interested in a financial deal, our country's position is that the tpp is the best for both countries. shall bethat, we dealing with the talks. president trump: thank you very much. the united states has a massive trade deficit with japan. it is anywhere from $69 million to $100 billion a year. that is massive by any standard. on steel and232 aluminum, and if we can come to an arrangement on a new deal between the united states and japan, that would certainly be something we would discuss, aluminum and steel tariffs, and i will look forward to being able to take them off at some point in the future. but right now we have a deficit that is a minimu

have been heading higher and expected to do so going into this week. >> the president will be welcoming shinzo aben tuesday. but can we expect out of that meeting? >> it is the second meeting, the first one went well. it will be revisiting prior ground. what is excited to be the topic of discussion will be the tariffs among other issues and likely, korea. what will also be on the radar in terms of events this week internationally will be cuba which is ending 60 years of rain under the castro brothers. fidel castro for many decades and more recently his brother i will upon the duck castro's castro will be stepping down and it is expected that the communist party will remain in control and appoint successor. here in the u.s. we have possible legislation having to do with a bill that puts limits on banks as part of the dodd frank act. that will be revisited as well. qwest light ahead here this week to look ahead. we will assess the ball up from the syrian attacks. how rising tensions could actually affect m&a. lb later on this hour. president trump says the missile strikes were mission accomplished.

he explained why north korea will be mr abe's main focus during these talks.h was quite a sudden afton kim jong—un‘s (extension, which was quite a sudden afton kim jong—un‘s ( extension, japan is concerned the united states will come into us at —— summit and come out with an agreement that overlooks japanese interests. these missiles with separate very strongly domestically and in this trip of prime minister shinzo abe, it comes ata time prime minister shinzo abe, it comes at a time when he is seeing me his lowest approval rating is domestically since 2012. that is right. one of the things by minister shinzo abe has going for him domestically is he had is seen as a sturdy hand who can manage that sometimes tempestuous foreign policy of donald trump. that is another thing he will look to accomplish when he meets with trump. protecting japan on the korean issue but also defending japan's interests in ensuring that the ballistic missile is threatening japan might be in any agreement that trump might reach with kim jong—un. president trump has hit back at the form

and not being soft, shinzo abe.istian: and justin trudeau tells the bbc he wants to have a bilateral trade deal the day after the brexit

without having give up anything --do we have any indication about what kind of strategy will be taken and what shinzo abeis worried --bothered by these short-range missiles. >> they want the u.s. to address jong-un,ng with kim but president trump did not address this specifically. that would be a disappointment for japan. the fact that the public is worried about north korea becoming increasingly bigger is appease is trying to that he was not able to achieve significant progress on that. rishaad: he wanted to achieve more than a federal opportunity, which some say is what he got. what is he facing at home? a military of defense scandal and on top of that his prime minister -- vice prime minister resigned. #metoo allegations. >> the economy has been improving under abe. inflation is nowhere where it needs to be for the bank of japan to start thinking about it exit.- an the debate in parliament has been focusing on these scandals. that would be a big disappointment for abe. rishaad: thank you. go into more headlines coming out of the ministry of commerce in beijing. already heard them talking about the nee

be on the table. they will have wanted reassurances, shinzo abe from president trump that this talk of a summit in may or june doesn't mean that suddenly the japanese are going to be left out, you know, hanging by this. there's some difference between the south koreans on that and the japanese and south koreans

issues, the agenda and what the framework would be for negotiations going forward after the summit meeting. laura: barbara, the japanese leader shinzo abeat --s that mar-a-lago, his second vis. how important is it to be seen as close to the u.s. leader and having o influenthis? barbara: it is very important because japan depends on the united states for a security guarantor. the japanese and the north koreans ve a very tense relationship, so if there was any sort of aack by north korea or retaliation, it would be much more likely to targeth japan than s korea. mr. abe has been very hawkish about south korea, now holocen is breaking out. kim jong-un is talking to everyone. he is not talking to japan. has tried to get in on t act, asked for a meeting but more importantly if there is going to be a diplomatic solution not only between americans and north korea but also a regional dramatic solution, mr. abe of japan has to be a part of that. laura: thank you. later onother fineth move, canada's prime minister is in london where he sat down with the bbc, talking about everything from the strikes in d syria ling with president trump. our repor

abe. with regard to trade you are going to get new talks for trade. is it going to be in the direction of the fa -- fda or tpp so i with like to hear the views from both of you. >> so this time president trump the talks for free, fair, reciprocal trade deals to initiate that has been agreed. as for this talk, minister and ambassador will be the representative. and they will be receiving these talks. the entry between the two countries will be expended. and we are going to realize the inter pacific economic growth. so under u.s. aide, that they are interested in bilateral deal, we are aware of that, but say our country's best position is best for both countries. and based on that position we will be dealing with the talks. >> thank you very much. the united states has a massive trade deficit with japan. it's anywhere from $69 billion to $100 billion a year. that's massive by any standpoint. we are doing 232 on steel and aluminum. and if we can come to arrangement on a new deal between the united states and japan, that would certainly be something we would discuss. alumi
