TOKYO -- Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga can afford to smile to himself this week, happy in the knowledge that a meeting last month has now turned out to be a goldmine of insight into the policy agenda of the next U.S. administration.

Retired American military intelligence officer Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn met Suga while on a visit to Japan in mid-October, when he stressed the need to review and reassess the U.S. security alliance with Japan. Donald Trump wants to pursue a better bilateral alliance, Flynn is alleged to have said to the Japanese government spokesman.

In his meetings, Flynn is said to have claimed Trump's controversial campaign-trail remarks were merely part of the rhetoric needed to secure an election win, according to informed sources. His actual policies after taking office would be different from what he said to galvanize his support base, Flynn predicted.

-It is coming from the Japanese minister. It does not even say that they interviewed Flynn

This is fake news meant to divide trump supporters-

Why would a Japanese news agency care about Trump supporters ?

Always use the title at the link when posting articles at Free Republic.

Do NOT make up a quote that doesn’t exist and use it for the title.

FR is NOT a fake news site, stop trying to make it into that.

The proper question is do you trust a globalist government official tell the truth to any news outlet?
