Trump hurried to reunite at the White House. Originally, he had announced to the outside that he would meet with Putin in Budapest, the time was set for 14 days, the place was fixed. But a few days later, he suddenly changed his face, on the 21st when the reporter said: "I don't want to waste time."
This is not impulsive, but because there is no agreement at all. Trump hopes that Russia and Ukraine will cease fire first and then sit down to negotiate. But Putin's attitude is: Without a peace agreement, do not want a ceasefire.。Moreover, this agreement requires Ukraine to recognize Russia's sovereignty over the four states of Donbas and Crimea. This is not something Trump can make.
Even worse, the calls of Secretary of State Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov did not speak about the outcome. The Russian side, on the other hand, was harder, not even giving room to "slow down".
Then he threw another card: I have accepted China's invitation and will visit China next year“As soon as I said export, I was hit in the face. The Chinese side did not respond.
China's Foreign Ministry only mentioned the change of Japanese regime when it said "Japan has a political responsibility in history and Taiwan issue", without a single word of congratulations, not even to "Taiwan". Trump’s visit to China” gave even a diplomatic response.
One east and one west, both sides failed. Trump is full of losers, the diplomatic chess station is stagnantAt that time, Japan was the only door he had not yet closed.
On October 20, Trump just said in Washington “I’ll visit Japan soon.”The next day, the Japanese parliament passed the appointment of the prime minister of the high market early.
According to the current itinerary, Trump will visit Japan for three days from October 27th to 29th. For him, this is the only diplomatic activity that can happen; For Takaichi, this is her first major summit meeting since she became prime minister.
But this meeting doesn’t look like a “gathering” celebration. It’s more like a fire test.。 Gao's cabinet has a low support rate, a low voice, and a hasty and powerless cabinet formation. Just go to see Trump like this, fearing that a sheep will enter a tiger's den, and it will be too late to escape.
Trump certainly won't come empty-handed. When he came here, he had an account in mind: the first account, That $550 billion investment commitmentJapan’s commitment to the United States in 2022 is now far behind. Trump isThis "record" is needed to give voters an account.
The Japanese government is also acting. According to Reuters, Japan Bank for International Cooperation is preparing to create a new mechanism to support this investment cost, It mainly includes key metals, medicine, semiconductors, energy and shipbuilding.。
Gao Shi is like wearing two masks. During the election campaign, she felt that the United States wanted too much. After being elected, she immediately changed her mind, saying that it was so-called commercial rationality. She would not change even when Peking Opera changed its face.
The second account is the export of agricultural products. Trump knows that U.S. soybeans cannot be sold, On the other hand, China significantly reduced its purchases to the United States, and he turned his eyes on Japan.
According to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. soybean exports to Japan in 2024 amounted to $9.98 billion, and although there is still a certain amount of exports, it is far from reaching the level of “alternating China.”
The last account is in terms of energy cooperation. Trump is jealous. He likes his own liquefied natural gas and wants to advocate Japan to buy more, but in reality, Japan also imported very little last year, accounting for only about 3% of total U.S. exports.So I want to talk about this, afraid that the connection will not stand.
For the high market, the risk is also high. Because the political roots are very weak, and if you want to consolidate power in this way, you may fall into the abyss without paying attention.
On October 21st, Takaichi took office and announced a heavy news that he planned to increase defense spending to 2% this year, two years ahead of the original target. This shows that she is sending a signal to domestic forces again.
But here's the question: Where does this money come from? If you want to increase military spending, you have to cut other budgets. Japan is already financially tight, and people are complaining about tax increases. Do you dare to touch the high market? She needs U.S. support and needs to reassure the voters in Tokyo.
Her right-wing stance has to be discussed To participate in the change of historical teaching materials and support China's toughness, various behaviors have to be guarded against by China. If she continues to pick trouble at these critical moments, she will be throwing a stone at her own foot. If she wants to make good friends with China, she will definitely not be able to get much benefit if the United States completely follows its lead.
It's like a two-person stage play. Trump is a monkey-anxious businessman who wants to get results, while Takashi is the coin pinched in the crack of the stone, unable to move, although everyone knows that it is difficult to get results. But they are still working hard on the show.
