Quick Glance: Kishida Warns of Global Risks in US Congress

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida emphasizes the need for US support to maintain hope in Ukraine and protect Asia from harsher realities in a speech to the US Congress.

Kishida urges the US to continue playing a crucial role in international affairs, especially in the face of threats posed by China, Russia, and North Korea.

Despite support for Kishida's remarks championing a free and open Indo-Pacific, some conservative Republicans remained seated during his call for support for Ukraine's fight against Russia.

Kishida and President Joe Biden unveiled a list of initiatives to deepen their military cooperation and jointly condemned China's 'dangerous and escalatory' actions in the region.

Aso Seeks to Build Personal Relationship with Trump, Anticipating Possible Return to White House

Quick Glance: Taro Aso Meets Trump in New York Prior to Election

Ahead of the November elections, former Prime Minister Taro Aso met with Donald Trump in New York as some countries were establishing connections with the ex-US president.

Serving as the Vice President of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party, Aso had a strong alliance with the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who shared a close bond with Trump.

During the meeting, Trump also commended Japan's increased defense expenditures.

The meeting on Tuesday occurred following Trump's involvement in a hearing related to alleged hush money payments to a porn star before the 2016 presidential election.
