According to Japanese media reports, on the 14th of this month, Japanese Prime Minister Katsuyuki Kawai, who was visiting the United States, held talks in Washington with former director of the National Security Agency (NSA), who is regarded as close to US President-elect Trump, and conveyed the idea of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that "hopes to quickly establish the highest level of personal trust relationship with Trump".
Stadtman was a close confidant of Woolsey, the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), who was invited to serve as a senior adviser during Trump's election. During the talks, Kawai stressed: "For Trump, there is no one else among the world leaders who are truly trustworthy than Prime Minister Abe." ”
Regarding Trump's proposal to increase the burden of Japanese troops on the stationing of US troops in Japan and withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), Kawai said that "the composition of the power transition team is still unknown, and the proposed policies are also in an unknown stage", saying that the talks did not involve details.
It is reported that kawai's talks with the cadres of the power transfer group are being held after the 15th to coordinate.
