NEWSAR · AI

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi informed U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday of her strong desire to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Takaichi seeks to discuss the past abductions of Japanese nationals by North Korea, a long-standing point of contention between the two countries. She stated that Trump expressed full support for her efforts to find an immediate resolution to the issue and they exchanged ideas on how a meeting with Kim could be arranged. Japan officially recognizes 17 citizens as having been abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s, with suspicions of more disappearances. While five abductees were returned in 2002, no further progress has been made since.
