Trump will meet Tuesday with former Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso, the deputy head of Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party, two campaign officials told CNN.
The meeting will take place at Trump Tower in New York after the former president’s appearance in court for his hush money trial. Trump has in recent weeks increasingly met with foreign leaders, who have sought to bolster ties as polls continue to show an tight general election contest between him and President Joe Biden.
“Meetings and calls from world leaders reflect the recognition of what we already know here at home. Joe Biden is weak, and when President Trump is sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, the world will be more secure and America will be more prosperous,” Trump senior campaign adviser Brian Hughes said
