President Trump meets with Japanese PM Ishiba

U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba at the White House on Friday as two allies wary of China's rise work to boost business and security ties while an escalating trade war threatens to rupture the global economy. "We love Japan!" Trump said as he greeted Ishiba and the two shook hands. Trump, whose first three weeks in office have shredded norms and shaken foreign capitals from Ottawa to Bogota, has taken a more conventional approach to Washington's longstanding Asia-Pacific allies, including Japan, South Korea, Australia and the Philippines.
