Episode Details

Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi met with President Trump at the White House, reaffirming their alliance amidst tensions with Iran. Trump, frustrated by Japans non-involvement in protecting the Strait of Hormuz, brought up Pearl Harbor. Takaichi appeared uncomfortable as Trump pressed for military support, a politically challenging task due to Japans post-WWII constitution. Despite tensions, the two nations announced a deal for GE Vernova and Hitachi to build small modular nuclear reactors in the US. Trumps China trip was delayed due to Iran situation, shifting focus from trade, energy, and security to Middle East tensions.
