Conversation with a foreign head since the election last week. Top of the agenda, as you mentioned, its going to be trade, its going to be business, its also about security at this point. Japan is the Third Largest economy in the world. Americas fourth largest trading partner. And very central to the transpacific partnership, the tpp, which a lot of people think the tpp is pretty much dead. Abe isnt convinced just yet. This is an attempt by him to maybe make one last push to convince donald trump of the merits of more global trade. Security is very important to japan given that they are in a region with a rising military power in the form of china. Donald trump has threatened to pull u. S. Troops out of the country. He has also encouraged japan to maybe seek a Nuclear Arsenal of its own to counter the weight of a rising Chinese Military power. But were going to try to get to an official photo later today. No video is allowed at this meeting because its seen as a less formal meeting. Th
