Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi held talks over the telephone with U.S. 
President Donald Trump on Friday after his visit to China for talks with leader Xi Jinping, with Trump offering a “detailed explanation” of the summit. 
Takaichi told reporters in Tokyo that Trump had called her from aboard Air Force One, but declined to offer further details of their talks, saying only that the two had agreed to “continue maintaining close communication” on issues facing the Indo-Pacific region. 
She also said the two leaders had “reaffirmed the unshakable Japan-U.S. alliance” and spoke about the war in Iran, adding that the two would aim to meet again during next month’s Group of Seven summit in France.
