NEW YORK, Sept. 23 -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday that he and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will have dinner later here. The two leaders will also hold bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly on Wednesday.
Regarding the deliverables of their meetings, experts and media of both countries however have held lower-than-ever expectations given the two sides' differences on trade and issues related to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
WELCOME OR PRESSURE?
Among the three tweets Trump posted on Sunday, two were concerning Abe's visit. While congratulating Abe on his recent electoral victory and claiming that they will discuss military and trade issues, Trump has put the focus on pressuring the Japanese leader.
"We have done much to help Japan, would like to see more of a reciprocal relationship," Trump said. "It will all work out!"
U.S. experts have generally predicted that the trade and DPRK-related issues will top the agenda of Abe's five-day stay in the United States.
Dan Mahaffee, senior vice president and director of policy at the Center for the study of Congress and the Presidency, told Xinhua that "Abe is riding high after winning his party's election and a mandate to continue his economic and security policies."
"During his meeting with President Trump, he will want to address the tariffs that President Trump has threatened to place on Japanese imports to avoid any economic disruption, while also ensuring that pressure is kept up on North Korea even as Presidents Trump and Moon seek to further negotiations with Kim," he said.
