The election for Japan's House of Representatives will be held on the 8th, and US President Trump posted on social media on the 5th, highly praising Liberal Democratic Party leader and Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, saying that she 'will absolutely not disappoint the Japanese people!'
In his social media post, Trump pointed out that 'The great nation of Japan will be holding a very important parliamentary election on Sunday, February 8, 2026. The outcome of this election is crucial for Japan's future. Sanae Takaichi has proven herself to be a strong, powerful, and wise leader, and is truly a patriotic person.'
Looking Forward to Takaichi's Visit to the US in March
Trump said: 'I look forward to welcoming Prime Minister Takaichi to the White House on March 19. During my visit to Japan, both myself and all members of the delegation were extremely impressed by her. Beyond national security, the US and Japan are also working closely to achieve a very significant trade agreement, which will greatly benefit both countries.'
