Renho, 57, a member of the House of Councilors of the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), updated her X (formerly Twitter) by the 30th. The post seems to be a complaint about the behavior of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi at the Japan-U.S. summit meeting. Renho did not give specific names, but said, “No need for him to put his arm around my shoulder. Without turning around to smile. No jumping up and down. Without crossing his arms. It appears that a calm meeting could have been held. It’s a shame,” he posted. He continued, “I would like to seek a politics built on ‘trust,’ not ‘staging. On March 28, Mr. Takaichi and Mr. Trump visited the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington at the U.S. Navy Yokosuka base. Mr. Trump escorted Mr. Takaichi off Marine One, the presidential helicopter, and gave a speech in front of several thousand U.S. soldiers on board. He hugged Takaichi on the shoulder and praised her in a good mood, saying, “This woman is a winner.” Takaichi responded to the cheers while jumping up and down, which became a topic of conversation. The speech was also controversial, with some criticizing the Prime Minister’s “upturned eyes” and other comments about him at the time.
