Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba had nothing but praise for U.S. President Donald Trump during their first face-to-face meeting at the White House.
Ishiba began the Feb. 7 talks by pointing to an iconic photo taken last July moments after a gunman intent on assassination bloodied Trump in the ear during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania.
Calling the photo “one that will remain in history,” Ishiba added, “I thought that you must certainly have felt then that you were one chosen by God.”
