U.S. President Donald Trump met Japan’s new prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, in Tokyo on Tuesday for talks on trade and security, a week after the hardline conservative became Japan’s first female leader and vowed to accelerate a military buildup.

In the meeting Takaichi praised Trump’s "commitment to world peace and stability," while Trump said relations of both countries will be "stronger than ever."

"Everything I know from (the late former PM) Shinzo Abe, you will be one of the great prime ministers and I’d also like to congratulate you on being the first woman prime minister, that’s a big deal," Trump said.

Takaichi is expected to offer a package of U.S. investments in a $550-billion deal agreed this year, including shipbuilding, and increased purchases of U.S. soybeans, gas and pickup trucks, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
