Interesting Situation.
“Abe said he spoke to Trump on Tuesday and they agreed to increase pressure on North Korea.” Technically, Abe was speaking with Trump on Tuesday, in Japan; but in the U.S. where Trump was, it was still Monday.
They spoke on the phone for 40 minutes according to Japanese news report I watched here in Japan .
Japan needs to announce that they are increasing their naval fleet with anti-missile capability. That will give the Chinese a fit will hopefully cause the “stuff” to roll down hill onto the Norks.
