President Trump on Monday met with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi shortly after she became the country\u2019s first female prime minister, where the two touted the strength of the U.S.-Japan alliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump and Takaichi met at the Akasaka Palace in Tokyo one week after Takaichi officially took over as prime minister. Trump congratulated her on becoming the nation\u2019s first woman to hold the position, calling it a \u201cbig deal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to just let you know, anytime you have any question, any doubt, anything you want, any favors you need, anything I can do to help Japan, we will be there. We are an ally at the strongest level,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takaichi worked closely with the late Shinzo Abe, Japan\u2019s former prime minister, who built a strong friendship and working relationship with Trump during the president\u2019s first term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe spoke so well of you, long before we met, and I\u2019m not surprised to see that you are now the Prime Minister \u2014 and he would be very happy to know that, and I congratulate you on behalf of the United States,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takaichi praised Trump for his efforts to broker peace in the Middle East and for his role in securing a detente between Thailand and Cambodia. The prime minister announced that Japan would gift 250 cherry trees to the United States as part of ongoing celebrations marking 250 years since America\u2019s founding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two leaders were expected to discuss trade during their meeting in Tokyo. The two nations struck a trade agreement in July that imposed a 15 percent tariff on Japanese goods and included a commitment for Japan to invest $550 billion in the U.S. Trump had previously threatened to hit Japan with a 25 percent tariff on its goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
