Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe praised President Donald Trump for his successful meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un on Tuesday, describing it as the first step in achieving a “comprehensive resolution.” Following their meeting in Singapore, the two leaders signed a declaration agreeing to “establish new U.S. – DPRK relations in accordance with the desire of the population of the peoples of the two countries for peace and prosperity.”
The declaration added that the two countries “will join their efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula” and an assurance that the “DPRK commits to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.”
“We see this as a step in a comprehensive resolution,” Abe told media in Tokyo after speaking with Trump. “I highly praise and appreciate President Trump for mentioning the issue of abduction (of Japanese by North Korea) to Kim, which is an important issue for Japan. I’m determined that Japan will have to directly face North Korea and resolve (the abduction issue) bilaterally.”
Japan has remained a steadfast ally of the United States and South Korea dating back to the 1950s against the North Korean regime and recently placed a number of sanctions on North Korean entities in an attempt to exert pressure on the regime.
In April, Kim Jong-un made a symbolic gesture against the “wicked Japanese imperialists” by changing North Korea’s time zone to align with South Korea.

You’re right, Bibi is number 1. Abe is number 2.
If the Japanese think it was a good summit, it probably was, as they are a MUCH bigger and closer target than the US mainland.
Should make great Republican posters for the Nov. election!
Japan praises it but American Democrats refuse to.
I'm pretty sure that Abe was the first foreign leader to congratulate Trump on his victory.
