Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba will meet with Trump - press conference Friday

  • There will be some discussion of economic issues

Much of this 'summit' will be spent on regional security issues of importance to Japan and the US:

  • North Korea
  • Taiwan

for example.

On economic issues, there will be discussion on:

  • collaboration on technologies, such as artificial intelligence and semiconductors
  • Japan's imports of U.S. liquefied natural gas

I posted last week that FX might get a look at. Both leaders would be happy with a lower USD/JPY rate. I expect that discussion to be had, if at all, by underlings though.
