i am wondering who is the best, trump or shinzo abe?o we talk about news, because we have no interest in each other‘s sessions, unfortunately. buti we have no interest in each other‘s sessions, unfortunately. but i am sure they would both be welcome if they come to singapore, that is for sure. i think i have to say, it is fairto sure. i think i have to say, it is fair to say president trump would the having a much you issue with that china trade surplus thanjapan. i think that china trade surplus thanjapan. ithinki that china trade surplus thanjapan. i think i minister shinzo abe will be emphasising that when he meets the president, that, hey, ourtrade surplus is not as big, and japan actually contributes to the us economy. you are talking about the jobs that are ready in america, but he has reported they are also offering to create 700,000 us jobs. whether or not that is achievable is another matter, because if it is that easy he really should have done it back home already. that will definitely be high on the agenda. for the rest of t

now golf, trump and shinzo abe will be playing golf. a four-ball. i think president trump will have to play more golf with the chinese president. we had numbers from china. if president trump is not happy with surplus from japan, he won‘t be happy with the surplus from china. lisha, this is an astonishing number and it isjust one month‘s lisha, this is an astonishing number and it is just one month‘s worth? yes since we are all about the numbers today and deficit, according to us data, the us/china deficit la st to us data, the us/china deficit last year was $347 billion. so they will have to play lot of golf to get through these tensions. so we have been speaking about that call between president trump and president ping and how that alleviated tensions over the one china policy. but this issue around trade will be the real battleground. china's trade surplus is at its highest in nearly half a year, that is $51 billion and president trump has been arguing that china is benefitting at the ex—pension —— expense of america and we saw expo

japanese prime minister shinzo abe a commented on the issue with u.s.resident donald trump. >> president trump assured me that the united states will always stand with japan 100%. the president and i completely share the view that we are going to promote further cooperation between our two nations and further reinforce our alliance. grown japan's economy has for a fourth quarter in a row, driven by exports, gdp rose 5.2% through december, domestic consumption was flat, minimal wage increases constrained consumer spending. the figures underscore how important it is for prime minister shinzo abe to ease tensions with the trump administration's over trade. swiss voters have rejected a government plan to reform taxation after opponents labeled the reform a series of complicated tax tricks. 41%, due to international pressure on a switzerland needs to give special breaks for multinationals which generates billions in tax revenue and employs 150,000 people in the country of 8 million. rbs is preparing to cut more than one billion pounds in annual operating cos

what is it specifically about shinzo abe that trump likes? he met with him before he was inaugurated. he has had some contentious conversations, what is it particularly about japan that he finds interesting and compelling to meet with them? is there any way that he could come out and make a statement saying we have a great relationship with donald trump and the united states can quell some of the anxieties from other world leaders. >> mike: i think both nations are entrepreneurial in nature, focus on technology and innovations, both of them frankly, have had difficulties in dealing with china. i think that's a common ground. >> melissa: i think one thing that has been so eye-opening for the american public, especially if you tune in and listen to that conversation is how much room for interpretation judges believe they are in and the law. i was shocked by the back-and-forth, the questions that were asked, they didn't seem to be related to what we had been talking about. it brings our focus back to this next appointment. how important it is to

you've met shinzo abe. >> i've met shinzo abe. i find it interesting because president trump and shinzo abe didn't like each other. abe ended up sort of in the bucket of things that joe biden took care of and was responsible for dealing with with japan and south korea. i went with vice president biden to japan once. the theater of it is they always have good relations but privately abe did not think much of joe biden. he's just got a big upgrade. he got a bear hug from the president of the united states. that never happened with barack obama. so i think that when it comes to abe and the positioning, one thing i was waiting for that didn't happen is abe's biggest goal, private goal in japan, is repeal or gutted what they call article 9 in japan's constitution of the famous no-war clause. one time i put out a tweet saying i can imagine donald trump saying japan is weak. japan is limiting. japan is not playing the security role in the region it could because of article 9. that would be a huge gift to abe from donald trump that would

do we have any idea what president donald trump as well as prime minister shinzo abe are expected to say? >> reporter: we do not have the specifics but i think it's important to note that this gives the prime minister of japan an opportunity to speak directly to the japanese people when it's just after noon on sunday. he has a full delegation of his media press corps in addition to his soon senior officials. this is very, very important for the japanese. at the same time, we have been given guidance that president trump will make a statement following the prime minister. this comes at a time when it is unusual because there has been what is known as a lid in white house coverage. they had planned to have no additional coverage of events today and then changed their minds and very abruptly put this news conference together or this statement in front of cameras. you see the chairs assembled. members of the japanese and american press corps are there. we don't know what the announcement will be, what the comment will be, but it is something that is a test in a new presidency. it was exp

i think there are certain things that trump and shinzo abe have in common.e has always been very interested in building japan back into a normal power. thatis having a military is able to take part in military exercises and engagements around the world. japanese, the constitution at the moment prevents that. shinzo abe wants to get rid of clause nine in the japanese constitution or in mr. trump would be very pleased to see go to so that japan can join america in america's attempts to deal aggressively with china. be -- i do not want to feel like we're talking about this issue that you have just stated at the outset that you are worried about china. one thing he said in your notes is that you are wondering if there is a mood in the white house for a strike on china in the near future. what do you mean by that? difficult to find the approachese kinds of that mr. trump has taken towards china. he has been flirting with china policy. he has been cozying up to the taiwanese president. betty: what are you talking about a military strike? what are you talking about
