Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is set to meet Donald Trump at the White House, marking the first G7 leader visit since tensions over the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has urged allies, including Japan, to assist in military efforts, but Takaichi faces constitutional challenges in committing naval forces. The meeting will focus on the Iran situation and its impact on Japan's energy prices. Japan's strategic reliance on the US for security is emphasized, as is the need for stronger ties with Europe amid changing international dynamics.
