Show Notes

President Trump is in Asia and will soon meet with Japan's newly elected Prime minister, Sanae Takaichi. She must immediately contend with a challenging backdrop: The US has already won a $550 billion investment pledge from her debt-filled nation, in exchange for respite from crippling tariffs. Also at stake is Japan's security in the face of rising threats from China, who Trump is expected to meet with on Thursday in South Korea. David Sanger is the National Security Correspondent for The New York Times and he joins the show from Washington, DC. 

Also on today's show: former US Ambassador to NATO Julianne Smith; author Beth Macy ("Paper Girl")
