Confirms Unity as "The Strongest Buddy" Against Middle East Crisis】 On the afternoon of March 19, 2026 (early morning of March 20, Japan time), Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who was visiting the United States, held a summit meeting with President Trump at the White House for approximately 1.5 hours. At the beginning of the meeting, Prime Minister Takaichi said in English, "Only Donald can bring peace and prosperity to the world," and President Trump praised Prime Minister Takaichi as "a wonderful, great woman." Their extremely strong relationship of trust impressed the world. Regarding the Middle East and Iran situation, which was the main focus of the meeting, Prime Minister Takaichi condemned Iran's nuclear weapons development, stating that "it is unacceptable," while also providing a detailed explanation of "what can and cannot be done within the scope of Japanese law" regarding ensuring safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. They agreed on close cooperation between Japan and the United States to ensure a stable energy supply. In the economic sphere, they also announced investment projects in the U.S. worth up to 11.5 trillion yen, including the construction of next-generation reactors (SMRs). They also secured full support for the immediate resolution of the abduction issue by North Korea, making this a historic meeting truly symbolizing a "new era of the Japan-U.S. alliance." 2. Profile of the Person Sanae Takaichi The 105th Prime Minister of Japan. Following a historic landslide victory in the February 2026 general election, she is conducting diplomacy with overwhelming support as Japan's first female prime minister. This was her second face-to-face meeting with President Trump since October of last year, and she approached the negotiations with "strategic intelligence" and "unwavering determination" to protect national interests. Donald J. Trump The 47th President of the United States. He called Prime Minister Takaichi a "very special person" and welcomed her to the US with the highest honors during her first visit after taking office. He considers the Takaichi administration his most important partner in matters such as the situation in Iran, controlling oil prices, and economic security. 3. His English: The "First Name Diplomacy" that Shined at the Summit Meeting What attracted attention at this meeting was Prime Minister Takaichi's "direct dialogue in English" at the beginning. • The Closeness of Calling Him "Donald" Prime Minister Takaichi deliberately addressed him in English, saying, "I believe only Donald can bring peace..." This use of his "first name" is an extremely effective technique in building trust with a leader like Trump. • A Logical and Unwavering Speech Regarding the sensitive issue of the Middle East situation, Prime Minister Takaichi, even through an interpreter, clearly conveyed "What Japan can and cannot do." This stance, free from ambiguity, was highly praised by President Trump, who said she was "taking responsibility herself." A phrase that conveys the impression of being the "best buddy" Prime Minister Takaichi's expression at the dinner, "I am confident that we are the best buddy," conveyed the closeness of the Japan-U.S. alliance to the world in the best possible way. 4. Hints for Learners What we can learn from Prime Minister Takaichi's English is the importance of "choosing words that connect with the other person" rather than perfect native pronunciation. Her negotiation technique of addressing President Trump as "Donald" and praising his leadership before getting to the main topic is the ultimate form of "icebreaker" in business English. Furthermore, her logic of clearly distinguishing her own position with "Can/Cannot" is the most trustworthy way of speaking in the international negotiation arena where misunderstandings are unacceptable.
