US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that he had secured assurances from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that Japan will invest more in the United States.
“I had a phone call this morning with Prime Minister Abe of Japan and I suggested that he invest more and open up more plants,” Trump told reporters and lawmakers at the White House.
“They announced, as you know, a number of plants coming in to Michigan and other states, but we want to bring in more,” he continued. “They will do that, he said they will do that.”
This year has seen a renewed push by Trump to change the terms of trade with some of America’s closest allies.
