LIMA (Kyodo) — Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba acknowledged Saturday that he will not hold an in-person meeting with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on his way back to Japan from South America, despite his earlier desire to do so.
Speaking to reporters in Lima, Peru, Ishiba said Trump’s team explained the president-elect cannot meet with foreign leaders before taking office due to legal constraints.
