'The prime minister's already spoken to me about that and I do believe that Iran would like to talk. And if they'd like to talk, we'd like to talk also. We'll see what happens,' Trump said.
TOKYO — President Donald Trump on Monday backed the Japanese prime minister's interest in using his country's good relations with Iran to help broker a possible dialogue between the U.S. and its nemesis in the Middle East.
"I know that the prime minister and Japan have a very good relationship with Iran so we'll see what happens," he said while meeting with Abe in Tokyo. Trump and Abe held discussions after the U.S. president became the first world leader to meet Japan's new emperor, Naruhito, who ascended to the throne May 1.
As he sat with Abe, Trump noted the significance of meeting the emperor. Naruhito took the throne after his father stepped down, the first abdication in Japan's royal family in about two centuries. Trump has suggested he will impose the levies if the U.S. can't win concessions from Japan and the European Union. Japan's trade surplus surged almost 18% in April to 723 billion yen ."I think we will be announcing some things probably in August that will be very good for both countries," Trump said, adding that Japan has"been doing much more business with us and we'd like to do a little bit more business in the reverse.
