folks think the Japanese are shy and inscrutable, and that it is impossible to know what they are thinking

It can be said that his biggest deal was the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal which was a way to stay competitive with China. yet Trump like trade protectionism. Yet the PM did it without the US, which was smart on his part.

Seems Trump wants to take credit for that. Abe also wanted a peace Treaty with Russia. Keeping all his options open it seems. He helped consolidate Asia as a unified force which seems to be heading toward economic and security deals with other Asian nations and not dependent on the US. IF they succeed it will be bye bye US bases in Japan.
