She voiced deep concern over the impact of the Iran conflict on the global energy supply chain.

“Right now, in the Middle East and in the entire world, we’re experiencing a very tough security environment, and the global economy is about to suffer a huge hit because of this development. Against this backdrop, I firmly believe it’s only you, Donald, who can achieve peace across the world,” said Takaichi.

Takaichi expressed appreciation for Trump’s continued commitment to the Japan-US alliance, as the security environment in the Indo-Pacific grows increasingly challenging.
