Speaking at the start of a summit with US President Donald Trump in Tokyo, Takaichi said the two countries had developed "the greatest alliance in the world" and that together with the US, Japan was ready to contribute to global peace and stability. Trump praised Takaichi, who has been in power for a week, for immediately boosting Japan's military capabilities. "We received your orders for a large amount of new military equipment," Trump said.
