Summary Japanese PM arrived at Joint Base Andrews on Thursday evening ahead of a meeting with Donald Trump.
MARYLAND (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe arrived at Joint Base Andrews on Thursday evening ahead of a summit with US President Donald Trump.
Abe is expected to propose new cabinet level US-Japan talks on trade, security and macroeconomic issues, including currencies, during their meeting on Friday, a Japanese government official involved in planning the summit said.
After meeting in Washington, Abe and Trump were scheduled to travel to Palm Beach, Florida, to stay at Trump s Mar-a-Lago retreat and play golf on Saturday.
The US official said any discussion on Trump s strategy towards North Korea s nuclear programme is premature but urged Pyongyang not to take provocative actions. Any such actions would help inform Trump s strategy, the official said.
