Trump treated to a very special gift during his visit to Japan

President Donald Trump was treated to a very special gift during his visit to Japan this week.

The president wasted no time lavishing praise on Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, the country’s first female leader, and accepting her vows to sign pledges regarding critical minerals and trade.

“She is also expected to offer a package of U.S. investments under a $550-billion deal agreed this year, including shipbuilding, and increased purchases of U.S. soybeans, natural gas, and pickup trucks, sources familiar with the talk said,” according to Japan Today.

The two also posed for pictures at Akasaka Palace, where Trump confirmed the new leader has “a very strong handshake.”

“Everything I know from Shinzo and others, you will be one of the great prime ministers. I’d also like to congratulate you on being the first woman prime minister. It’s a big deal,” he added.

Takaichi gifted Trump a golf bag that had been signed by Japanese major winner Hideki Matsuyama, a gold-leaf golf ball, and a putter that belonged to the late Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that Takaichi said she would offer her nomination for Trump to win the Nobel Peace Prize, joining a growing number of world leaders who seek to honor the president’s global accomplishments.

“Trump also praised Japan’s efforts to purchase more U.S. defense equipment, while Takaichi said Trump’s role in securing ceasefires between Cambodia and Thailand, and Israel and Palestinian militants, were ‘unprecedented’ achievements,” Japan Today reported.

“The leaders then signed an agreement to support the supply of critical minerals and rare earths, as the countries seek to wean reliance off China’s chokehold on the materials crucial for a wide range of products from smartphones to fighter jets,” the article continued. “The deal aims to jointly identify projects of interest in areas such as magnets and batteries over the next six months and work together to develop stockpiles of key minerals, among other measures.”

A signed golf bag and Abe’s putter?

That’s basically a +10 charisma buff in politics

I think POTUS has gained a new favorite Prime Minister. Abe was such an incredible friend. What a great gift.
