Mr. Aso assumed that Mr. Trump would return in the presidential election in November.“Moshi Tora” is smoldering in the Liberal Democratic Party’s political, financial and bureaucratic circles.People around Mr. Aso explain that the pipes were made in preparation for the future.

As Mr. Aso is an “ally” of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, with whom Mr. Trump had a mutually important relationship, Mr. Aso is busy with his election campaign and court case.He must have met a visitor from afar.

Moreover, Mr. Aso cannot be treated poorly by Mr. Trump.

Great-grandfather is Toshimichi Okubo, grandfather is Shigeru Yoshida.His younger sister is Princess Toshihito, Princess Nobuko. She is also the wealthiest person in politics,He has had a brilliant political career that I couldn’t have hoped for any more.Although he is elderly, he is the boss of a faction that has hidden influence over the selection of the prime minister.

Mr. V, a political expert in Washington who is familiar with Japan-U.S. relations, sees it this way.

“For Mr. Trump, who is aiming for re-election, it would be a big deal if Japan, an ally of Japan, were to send such a big deal in anticipation of a “tiger” situation.It tickles my self-esteem.”

“Especially ‘hush money/diversion of political funds'”If you are in the middle of appearing in court every day,It should have been a dose of sedative.”

“Of course, my rival in the presidential race, JoeIt may also be meant as an allusion to President Biden, butThe Biden administration doesn’t care about that.”

(Mr. Aso is Mr. Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken,It appears that he returned to Japan without meeting with top officials of both parties in Congress.)

On April 6, Mr. Trump announced that former British Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary DavidI had a meeting with Mr. Cameron at his home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.

“This meeting was widely reported as it was announced in advance by the British Foreign Office, butThe Trump-Aso meeting didn’t cause much of a fuss.

On this day, Mr. Trump also spoke at the Manhattan District Court in New York.The meeting took place during the criminal trial over the abuse of campaign funds.

The verdict (guilt or innocence) is expected to be around July 4th, Independence Day.Until then, he will be in court four days a week, which will be a long day.

Meanwhile, foreign leaders continue to “visit Trump.”

Trump’s “shadow diplomacy”Regardless of the content of the meeting, it is an impossibility for enthusiastic supporters.It’s a repressive (impressive) event.

“It’s a sign that the world is looking forward to Trump’s comeback.”Because I see it.
